[wise moat]

the fact that RDR2 has an accessibility option for fishing and this doesnt is crazy

[marsh depot]

I've lost all hope on hearing about it at this point, maybe by June? But eh, just not holding my breath.

[marsh depot]

I read this as R2D2 at first and was so confused

[wise moat]

i had to proofread about 4 times myself

[marsh depot]

Or the Gales Temple. Or accessibility in general.

[marsh depot]

I'm sure R2 still had more accessibility features though /silly

[dull crow]

they nentioned it and wanted more video footage to understand it

yeah we got 0.199 and there was nothing in the patch notes

[old dirge]

Right, so we wait. 0.199 was the earliest it could be added, it could now be in any upcoming patch but they gave no date

[marsh depot]

They only barely mentioned it in patch notes, not gave an actual warning or ETA of when it could be potentially fixed, for such a dangerous issue for players with photosensitivity.

And they did yes, but 1) they shouldn't have to ask players to stress test while also potentially exposing more players to the flashbangs, 2) they asked in the accessibility channel, which is lowkey negligent (though Lacie already explained it was to let people know it was being tracked, but still could've been done in another way) and, 3) players have already sent proof, but the announcement for it was just made in two channels, late at night, and wasn't pinned until the day after, so it got overlooked and overshadowed by other stuff.

And its frustrating becuase we've been here before and it feels like we're back to square one.

[stiff nymph]

Yup.

[marsh depot]

I just don't even have words anymore (or can express them here, sadly)

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, I've been getting some of my messages bonked for not being cozy. And at this point, I'm not even mad I'm just disappointed.

[dull crow]

yeah but they could give us an update about it for us. cause i know a lot of ppl stacked there chest full with zeki coins to get the colab plushie

[marsh depot]

You too huh? And same. I give up.

[stiff nymph]

Yup. got 2 warnings when, during my entire time in this server and the many times I've chatted, I never got one until yesterday.

[marsh depot]

Mind if I DM you? It's sort of funny cause again, I was trying to be helpful and explain things before as well. Plenty of other kinds of behaviour go undetected here but

[stiff nymph]

Go ahead! Im pretty sure my DMs are open but lemme know if I didn't toggle something

[marsh depot]

sent! (idk if it'll have gone to message requests though but mine should be open as well)

[warm python]

I can't figure out if them not disabling fireworks in the underground until they know what's happening is negligence or if their coding literally will not let them lmfao. Both are bad but I really wonder

[fiery sphinx]

They know what's happening. Players figured it out, sent them the videos. 🤷‍♀️

[stiff nymph]

The stuff that I wanna say but Einar is watching me. they're gonna make me fish until I'm level 1,000.

[warm python]

Oh I mean more the "why", or whatever they're claiming needs to be tested

I agree with you though that is sufficient enough evidence to stop it. Which makes me wonder why they haven't.

[fiery sphinx]

It seems simple enough to fix since it's an issue with being able to get someplace you shouldn't to do the thing you shouldn't, but what do I know.

[marsh depot]

We've been saying this but

[warm python]

Yeah, one would think. I just wish they'd be more forthcoming about why they're not doing anything about it. But then again, after how long the snowball issue went on for...

[marsh depot]

It only gets importance if it's making players loads of gold I guess.

[fiery sphinx]

The Underground is such an absolute nightmare anyway. There's entirely too much going on in that space.

[warm python]

Lmffff right if people were getting a gold piece every time they blinded someone underground it'd have already been fixed

[fiery sphinx]

Wouldn't want players to have gold... in a game with no real economy to speak of.

[marsh depot]

We can't be richer than Eshe I guess

[fiery sphinx]

It's going to disrupt the whole game if I can... what? buy more bathtubs in the underground?

[naive raft]

ngl idk if thid id the right place to ask but its oh well, i gotta be active here more anyway 😭
idk who to romance bru, in deadset on hassain but im gonna be so fr, reth, jel and einer r lowk rly rly fine and its like WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO FINE???

[fiery sphinx]

Why limit yourself? Romance them all. It doesn't matter. You can only wear 2 pins, but 🤷‍♀️

[naive raft]

wait what

[fiery sphinx]

Romance. Them. All.

[warm python]

Spread the love /nodnod

[fiery sphinx]

I'm the town ferris wheel. Literally every NPC is my lover.

[naive raft]

i can date more than 2 people is what ur sayin right

[fiery sphinx]

No limits. Date every single one of them.

[old dirge]

yup - everyone is poly with no gender preference by default in palia

[naive raft]

Oh
Hell
Yeah.

[marsh depot]

It's me officer. I bought 30 Bellflower bathtubs from the underground. Arrest me.

[naive raft]

Watch me make my lil dude, einar, hassain, jel and reth have the cutest mlm polyamory that i will write 3949595939936 fanfics about

[old dirge]

I am once again asking for s6 to update the almanac and add it in game https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Almanac_of_Palia

FUN FACTS: COMPANIONSHIP
Many villagers in Kilima
(and beyond) are open and
available for something
deeper than friendship. In
Kilima, it is custom to give a
pin to your lover to symbolize
your love and devotion to
each other.
Who knows? Maybe if you
get to know someone long
enough, you may find
yourself falling for them.
Or, you may fall for multiple
people - in Palia it’s common
and accepted to have
multiple love interests or
lovers. Though keep in mind:
you can only wear one pin at
a time!

[warm python]

Keeping an eye on that AO3 count

[naive raft]

That reminds me i need to revamp my ao3 acc, oop,

[stuck oar]

it's okay... I didn't want to play anyway..

[stiff nymph]

Haha that happened to me the other day. I had to restart my PS5.

[marsh depot]

At least it didn't crash your PS5

[stiff nymph]

I would have cried a little bit if that happened LOL.

[vivid oar]

Wait, you are a console peasant??! >:O

https://tenor.com/view/fight-me-come-at-me-bro-family-matters-jaleel-white-gif-7190421

[marsh depot]

Nope, laptop gamer, unfortunately my laptop sounds like a Boeing about to take off when I launch the game

[vivid oar]

Okok still better than console so I will accept it. I swear i get pinged back to playing ps1 every time I look at palia on my switch with all 7 of its pixels

[marsh depot]

I mean, no hate to consoles from my side. I still love my Wii. Sadly building a computer here is pretty expensive, and buying second hand parts can be a double edged sword.

But yeah, I love playing in 10 FPS when I go into Killima

[vivid oar]

Wii.... the best console, I miss wii, can we all collectivly agree to start playing wii again ;-; I swear its the only time i have ever been good at games

[marsh depot]

And the sound of the fans louder than my conscience (before someone comes saying thermal throttling, this only happens with Palia, I have a cooling pad and replaced the thermal paste).

[vivid oar]

best wii game right here.

I started playing games on a laptop so i know the pain :( I remember being horrified when i had to use a mouse instead of a trackpad to play WoW 😂 Hows the loading screens on ur laptop?

[stiff nymph]

Haha I have to be a console peasant cause my husband really loves to play Total War and RimWorld on the computer 😂. (Among other reasons but yarrrr).

[marsh depot]

Loading screens are... Okey. Depends on my Internet connection I'd say Killima is where it struggles the most for me

[vivid oar]

Fight him for PC rights! I will come back u up, im pretty big. We can take him

[vivid oar]

So better than the 3-5 buisness days the switch takes moving from one place to another at least? D:

[marsh depot]

Rimworld my beloved i need to play again someday but purging my mods sounds like a nightmare

[marsh depot]

Can confirm it is still better than switch from what I've heard but hey let's bring it to mobile and see how it'd go /j

[vivid oar]

shuuuush dont say such things out loud, u will manifest it o.o

[marsh depot]

It's been manifested for a while now

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, my husband has to mentally prepare himself when he wants to start a new playthrough because of all of the mods and working through which ones are broke.

(And to bring it back to Palia, I have to mentally prepare when I play Palia on my switch cause wooooo, it's rough sometimes haha).

[marsh depot]

Story of my life with the Sims as well. Every. Single Time.

(I'm mentally preparing myself to try and do the loot pile tricks honestly felt, it's so rough for Switch players)

[stiff nymph]

I mean Sims 5 is gonna come out soon right? Right? /s

(Haaaaa, honestly I envy anyone trying cause with the time limit and RNG, I...just don't have the spoons for it I'll save my spoons for the LNY ).

[modest merlin]

we need a snowy gazebo. This gazebo in kilima is breaking my emersion.

[marsh depot]

Sorry Theo, but that will only be available behind a 0.0000000005% chance from a loot pile.

[modest merlin]

But only after you buy 5 plots.

[marsh depot]

And complete the Pebbled Plunder quest.

[modest merlin]

Any only between dec 7th and feb 5th

[valid oyster]

That's too long a deadline, two weeks max.

Also Rummage RNG has turned my main experience this Patch to:
You have joined a new server
You have joined a new server
You have joined a friends server
Takes break for Bloom Event, fails to get Sprout
You have joined a new server

[modest merlin]

truly an unparalleled mmo gaming experience.

[marsh depot]

Make it Feb 29th instead, for good measure.

[marsh depot]

But aren't you feeling cozy? /j

[valid oyster]

Only coziness I've been feelin' is 'cause I'm on my couch IRL
Despite the games efforts to stop it

[fluid finch]

Hahaha, every time I play my spouse looks over and is like "that's supposed to be cozy?"

[marsh depot]

Me playing Stardew and trying to minmax the farm layout

[fluid finch]

They also don't find Stardew cozy, but don't mind watching when I play that.

[valid oyster]

Tbf the Skull Cavern can get crazy sometimes

[marsh depot]

If it's cozy to you that's all that matters

[stiff nymph]

Me playing Minecraft.

[marsh depot]

Trying to get 100% in Stardew is the ultimate cozy experience

[cloud obsidian]

hiding the recipes in only the kilima piles and making them a requirement for the bundles was a pretty harsh move and imho stokes feelings of fomo. Like how long do I have to get the recipes and the snowballs to make the items? Beyond the 20 I need to craft for the board, how do I get more snowballs to make some for myself after all of that? not only that if I want landscape pieces with the snow on them, I have to get even more snowballs after getting the recipes to craft those. It is not very user friendly.

[marsh depot]

And then getting attacked by phantoms because you didn't sleep

[stiff nymph]

Story of my life. always getting blown to smithereens.

[marsh depot]

We've been saying this but

At least all I can positively say is you don't need to complete all the bundles to get the floorings. But it does very much increase that feeling of FOMO.

They could've just kept the Winterlights store open but what do I know

I really hope S6 does take this as a chance to realise that the amount of RNG in the game is going to burn people out. Specially on a time limited event.

[cloud obsidian]

I have the wallpapers and the flooring, I want the recipes and I want to make some for me, not just for the bundle board. It was not well thought out. Make the recipes available in ALL of the piles, reopen the store so I can buy snowballs.

[valid oyster]

Unrelated to the conversation, but, you know what genuinely tilted me? The achievement for never dying during the minigame on the arcade machine at the saloon. I had to say that.

[stiff nymph]

[marsh depot]

I understand, and I agree with you completely It's definitely not well thought out, specially after players were using those snowballs to craft the snowmen. A heads up would've been nice, we asked Lacie if it could be possible to announce these things ahead of time so players could prepare/stock up.

So hopefully, we'll see that in the future. I just hope they say something soon and compensate players somehow.

[marsh depot]

I refuse to acknowledge that achievement It will forever remain uncompleted for me (though I could use mods to bypass it )

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, hopefully they just gift players the furniture or even the awards...

Or maybe next time they can keep the winter lights store open when they want to do an event that uses the snowballs and such.

Buuuut then again, the balance is odd because people are getting like, a single carrot and then have to wait, what was it? A whole IRL day? For the next pile.

[valid oyster]

New saying: An apple a day keeps players away

[cloud obsidian]

I did the full bag/server hop. relog method and gave up after 50 tries. Went to City hall and exhausted my coins for a bunch of wheat and carrots and a handful of snowballs congesting my packed inventory. (the recipe drop rate is abysmal).

[valid oyster]

Or blueberry, more accurately

[stiff nymph]

Oh that's even worse, I'm sorry.

[marsh depot]

Someone else mentioned before Winterlights store should just remain open through winter season, make it seasonal instead of tied to the Winterlights event.

But yeah the balance is just not there. New players don't have easy access to large amounts of essence or the RNG locked recipes. Veteran players are also SOL if they haven't finished MSQ or don't have those recipes.

It just punishes everyone, this is why time limited events shouldn't be tied to main story quests completion or RNG.

[cloud obsidian]

and I play every single day, I can't imagine what is is like for the casual gamer...

[marsh depot]

I really don't get the purpose of those bags tbh. You'd think at least it would give you a better chance for the recipes instead. It's just a waste of those coins

[marsh depot]

Yeah, that's another thing. It's essentially forcefully making players need to either play everyday or drop the idea of completing everything.

[cloud obsidian]

I went through two updates worth of coins for stuff I could have bought.

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, like the snowman event was more fun. Sure, still a bit of RNG but for a lot of people (maybe I can say most?) it wasn't bad. Like, I only got enough for like 10/15 snowmen buuuuut that's better than nothing and I still felt like I contributed a small amount to the community.

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, as someone who is more casual now it's...I'm just skipping it.

[cloud obsidian]

I crafted 100 and didn't mind the grind as much as I do this update.

[marsh depot]

That's... really unfair.

[cloud obsidian]

I did the feedback thing, but I hope Lacie see this and passes along our displeasure in how this was implemented.

[marsh depot]

Yeah I mean, that was okey and was a community event, so people could grind if they wanted to or not. Like Tiny said, the candy corn event felt more balanced in that regard (though that also had its following controversy), but it was a lot more fun.

[stiff nymph]

Man, I'm sad I missed that event.

[marsh depot]

Yeah, same. I just really hope they take this as a learning opportunity and fine tune some stuff. Otherwise it might just burn out a lot of players.

[marsh depot]

It was honestly well thought out, even if it was a bit grindy, you could finish it in hours unlike this one. It also made sense since you could get those candy corns from gathering materials you needed to complete the bundles anyways.

But this was like they simply assumed the majority of older players would already have every recipe, and considering people were already complaining that the last event required a high rarity fish, it's kinda like they doubled down and made it go from 0 to a 100.

[cloud obsidian]

Every day that I grab the pile and it is not one of the 4 recipes, it makes me want to play less, not more. I am sure that I am not alone in that feeling.

...if I had a better chance of a drop or had more piles to pick from, it might feel a bit more balanced than it is now.

[marsh depot]

You're definitely not alone in that feeling, the amount of RNG there is in the game has defnitely burnt out a lot of people.

There's the rummage piles, waterlogged chests, Zeki coins, Lucky Coins, Claw Machine Coins, and that's not counting all the plushes, quest items and other stuff locked behind RNG.

It's not cozy or motivating, it's frustrating. At least gachas have pity systems.

[cloud obsidian]

me not bringing up consumables aka fireworks being locked behind a paywall...

had to break down and buy them. sigh

[marsh depot]

And now a nameplate too

[cloud obsidian]

skipping that altogether... besides I am still trying to get that last EW nameplate for 39500 essence... very uncool.

[fiery sphinx]

Funny that people are out here literally paying for fireworks. I'm willing to pay real money for a way to never, ever see them again.

[cloud obsidian]

mine only get fired off in specific spaces under certain circumstances.

[dull crow]

Yeah normaly i get the new rp recepie instant cause i got all other but this time they made the rng so bad that i get none recepie and the bad thing is they Patch the inventory method out of the game cause i filed all my inventorys up and a friend of mine didnt she got the recepie i couldnt pick it up so i threw away 100 arraows to pick up the snowballs and the recepie but they dont do qol things we are bagging since the begining like make the sell chest as big as the inventory more storage or quick sell with pc at zeki.

[cloud obsidian]

that would explain my 50 unsuccessful attempts... 😶

[dull crow]

You need snowballs cause every recepie comes with snowballs. I dont mind rng if i get the % drop rate like in Monster Hunter.

[marsh depot]

Be careful what you wish for...

[fiery sphinx]

True. Monetization opportunities are like the bat signal...

[marsh depot]

From what I understand, the trick still works, it's just that you can't have snowballs/worms or anything that might be in the pile's drop table. But yeah, I definitely understand and agree with your point. We shouldnt need to resort to tricks to bypass RNG.

Or worse even, pay.

[marsh depot]

I mean my hopes are on the ground after they put the plushes on the premium battlepass. If they're willing to monetise bypasing RNG then I don't know what to expect

[dull crow]

My inventory was full with arrows and smoke bombs no worms or snowballs and i couldnt picked it up. I only could picked it up as my friend said there was a recepie and i needed to throw away 70 iron arrows to get it

[fiery sphinx]

I think we all kind of suspected that them changing their monetization policy to allow us "some free cosmetics" really meant they were opening up the option to monetize previously un-monetized stuff.

[cloud obsidian]

I would not doubt them implementing a Tailor's license for using tailor tickets to recolor either free or premium clothing items.

[fiery perch]

I remember when we were talking about how it was a slippery slope and a few folks told us to "wait and see" and that it would still only be "cosmetic". ... (Which i think can be debateable anyways. Specifically the landscape that you can turn on and off the floor or whatever.)

But now there's firework recipes that were paywalled, and you can also buy some ranch treats via a starter bundle. (Boovar starter, peki, ormuu, etc)

[fiery sphinx]

But it all evens out because you can earn a t-shirt for free now!

[marsh depot]

But Orii, a slippery slope is a logical fallacy (Im being sarcastic pls)

[fiery perch]

Which.. fair. Like again, expected-- changing monetization when they did, a lot of us expected it to be a slippery slope. And it still seems 'small' to some extent, but again... slippery slope.

And the fact that the only free 'outfit/clothing' item we have gotten so far, is... a really low effort/zero effort shirt (which the kitsuu on it isnt even centered, which annoys me lol) ... just feels... not great haha

[marsh depot]

Yeah I mean, I know we can sound pessimistic and stuff but it's only because we've been through this before

And I remember for the longest time I was trying not to be all doom and gloom.

[marsh depot]

The cosmetics from the refer-a-friend program are actually cute though. Those were a good balance, at least to me.

[fiery perch]

Yeah. I still try not to be-- because there are some things I have liked or appreciated-- but there has been a lot of ... things I don't like, for a long time, to where it's def outweighing it.

[fiery perch]

I agree! I did like those. And it was nice when they did give away the frog outfit, however, I wish it wasn't FOMO-based and then paywalled.

[marsh depot]

I really wonder how they're going to go about it. If it's going to be locked by "evos" or in this case, premium recolors, like it is in Nikki. Which is one of the most contentious points about that game.

[stiff nymph]

Fr. And before someone, I'm not calling someone out specifically, but before a random person thinks we hate the game....

We really don't lol. We just want it to be better for as many people as possible and for it to not end up in a place like other games that we've seen. Games that have either been shut down or that have been stuck in development for an X amount of years.

(Also I don't speak for everyone I'm just saying we in a general sense. ).

[marsh depot]

I still hate so much that they paywalled it. Like, why not bring it back for the anniversary? So newer Switch players had a chance to grab it, or if someone had just bought a Switch or something.

[fiery perch]

Yeah. I mean, I still am glad they finally released a quick chat feature. THat was something I wanted added for a long time. (Granted, I saw it a lil diff, similar to how Club Penguin has theirs... but i know that isnt very feasible due to the amount of platforms Palia is on now, and that's a lot of effort/work)

[marsh depot]

Exactly. We don't hate the game, many of us in fact love it or really just want to see it do better. Even if not for us, for future players.

And also to clarify, we also don't hate or disapprove of anyone who likes the game the way it is. That's fine. What is not fine is dismissing others experiences or opinions.

But stuff like that can really burn someone out.

[past swan]

Will starstones you have in your inventory count towards Hodari search or do we mine on the 19th like crazy

[fiery perch]

You'll have to mine them

[past swan]

Ok thank you just didn't want to sell mine then go oh crap like the snowballs lol

[marsh depot]

This reminds me a bit of the Candy eating event that came after spiritfest and people being annoyed because they had eaten all of their candy already Not to make fun of it, just funny it's happened twice.

[stuck oar]

Remember back when snow didn't have collision so this wouldn't have been an issue

[fiery sphinx]

Am I the only one that doesn't bother with community events because I'm pretty sure they just choose arbitrary numbers and don't actually track anything?

[marsh depot]

I stopped bothering with the Jamboree tbh But yeah, same. Not like we've been asking for in game counters since, the first Frog-a-Palooza.

[fiery sphinx]

I also expected those snowmen to be a lot bigger. That Giga Snowman isn't even close to Giga Frogbert.

[marsh depot]

It isn't W for Wumbo, that's what happened. /j

Or guess that's global warning for you. I don't know. At times like these, all we can do is laugh.

[modest merlin]

I ended up just sinking my gazebo into the ground to hide it.

[livid void]

oh felt

came in here to talk about how i feel about the rng event stuff and the monetization of plushies n stuff, but I see yall are already at it aslkjdhdf

Like, theres so much cosmetic stuff I'm happy to pay for already. I save and every month or so I get an outfit or a pet or something, and I see a lot of folk doing the same.
Do we really need to also be paying for stuff in the paths as well? idk, it felt like a wasted opportunity to give the folk without money to spare to get a few customisation items by just working for it, ya know?

[upbeat cosmos]

I gave a friend the Mystery Outfit as a gift. Unfortunately, there was something inside that she didn’t really like. I know it’s purely a matter of luck
But it would be really awesome if the mystery packs were either categorized (for example outfits in three price tiers depending on their value, like up to 1700, up to 2500, etc.) or if the clothing could be categorized by style, such as onesies or cute/cozy/fantasy.
What do you think?

[livid void]

yeah, considering you're spending real-life dollars on it, i think that would be good

or maybe, the option to save up a lot of those tailoring tickets for em

[vagrant star]

I like that! Maybe have a bunch of tags (dress, onesie, masculine+neutral, feminine+neutral, summer, winter, simple, fancy, silly, work, formal, cute, etc), add all that apply to each item, and for the gift let you select one and all with that tag are possible? Or maybe have the normal gift, and each tag you add costs a few coins, but you only get items with that tag? Or add the option to gift a specific item (for the same cost as it'd be to buy it for oneself)...

[bleak jay]

Does passive Lunar XP gains stack with focus bar usage?

Crap! OK! Guess I'll fill my focus meter. Thanks!

[sand frigate]

does anyone know if they put the Madrinas plush ( renamed) in the zeki ball machine? I know they said it COULD be in there by patch 0.199, but is it actually?

[devout crypt]

I agree with this. This game, it seems like it’s becoming more of a chore. It’s not as fun as it used to be. Day 2 of full inventory to try and get these recipes is taking its toll.

[marsh depot]

I remember when I first started doing the inventory trick (long before this event), I got burned out of the game for months.

I saw a discussion earlier about people thinking there's enough time to get the recipes, to not sweat it, because you don't need to finish the bundles to get the floorings.

And while I partially agree to that, players still shouldn't need to resort to tricks to bypass RNG on a time limited event. It's going to burn people out and it's not going to feel rewarding. The devs should know 1 month is not enough to collect all the recipes when there's no guarantee.

And this isn't to target anyone specifically, just mentioning a conversation I saw, and proves again that it's not great to dismiss other players experiences.

For what's meant to be a filler patch, it really feels like forced gameplay and very FOMO inducing because of the time crunch.

[devout crypt]

I am legit giving up on the full inventory trick now, and just going to pick up the loot piles. This is getting ridiculous. Once I pick up the loot piles each day, I am getting off, and not going to further play into it, not when I have far better games to play 😂

[cloud obsidian]

A game that I enjoyed, and loved is turning into a source of frustration and irritation because of the recipe situation. Games are suppose to be fun, this isn't.

[devout crypt]

It’s becoming increasingly stressful!

[dull crow]

If you have a gambling adictions its funny

[cloud obsidian]

inappropriate comment? No addiction is funny.

[devout crypt]

Omg….I just bought 10 of the rummage bags and got the snowy pavilion recipe from it 😑

[cloud obsidian]

I got corn, wheat, copper, and snowballs. Happy that you got at least one recipe!

[devout crypt]

That honestly surprised me lol. Figures after doing the trick for 2 days and it decides to give me the recipe 🤣

[cloud obsidian]

They could have solved much player frustration by: 1. leaving the winterlight store open to buy snowballs, etc and 2. making the recipes available in all of the piles (not just Kilima) with a higher drop rate. 3. give players the option to use furniture guild coins to buy the snowy recipes 4. make them buyable or a reward AFTER earning enough XP to complete the chests at the top of the board. 5. making the kilima coin rummage pile bag have a higher chance of dropping the recipes. So many opportunities to have done this better.

[marsh depot]

It's making me dread the thought of logging on. And I was excited for the ferris ranching but now I'm just like eh, I got Nikki if I want to frustrate myself I'll play League.

[marsh depot]

Congrats! Though I still don't understand why they made that item, if it doesnt have a better chance for recipes. It's kind of unrewarding for having collected Killima coins from the previous board (or this one).

[marsh depot]

Yeah it definitely was not well thought out. Again, I get it's a filler patch but this just feels like forcing players to grind, behind the excuse of "but you don't actually need to!"

[stiff nymph]

That argument always gets me. cause some don't have anymore quests, some are taking it super slow, some would really like the rewards, etc. The "but it's optional" will always sound like a way to wave off constrictive criticism.

[marsh depot]

Exactly. Some players like completing everything. And since there's no other way to get Killima coins, if you want something from that store, you kinda have to complete them or wait until the next board.

It's just that again, this is why it's so awful people dismiss other's experiences by saying "it's in beta/it's optional/it's fine for me", because you're only making people get scared of sharing their opinion and likely simply getting burned out of the game.

And isn't the whole point to make players want to play the game? And receive feedback to improve?

[cloud obsidian]

Patches shouldn't just be "filler" though. There is too much unfinished lore available to add to in this game. For the bundle board - they honestly could have brought back a certain blueberry pie loving entity instead of the "Snowy Skitterer" and added more to already established Palian lore.

[marsh depot]

It's why I jumped on all the frog and ruby shenanigans, I'm an end game player, all I have left to do in the game is make money and decorate (because I don't want to grind for plushes).

But this doesn't feel fun or makes me want to play the game either

[marsh depot]

We had a similar conversation some time back regarding people wanting the main story to be updated, and how the monthly bundle doesn't really add to that. And you got a good point there, they definitely could've done that, I had completely forgotten about it.

I don't expect them to update the story or give us a huge amount of content each patch either but yeah, this is just not my idea of fun gameplay.

[north steppe]

Heyo there, What 'easy' recipe for cooking we can made for two person to gain a little money ?

[marsh depot]

Maybe #🍳│cooking-foraging will have some ideas! I'm pretty out of the loop regarding what's profitable in parties in smaller groups, my only idea would be apple pie (or maybe even petit fives). Hope they can help you though!

[north steppe]

I was used to do Cake in kitchen of 8 to 12 person a year ago,
I introduced a friend and I try to help her making little of money

[proper bone]

but will it be nerved if we talke about it? Just thinking of the cake parties XD

[marsh depot]

Cake parties aren't as profitable as the fish parties anymore, but for two people they might be doable? They might have some more knowledge in what might be good

[marsh depot]

Hey those fishing parties haven't been nerfed yet, so

[proper bone]

I think it doesn't matter. I loved to mine and then they nerved it...sometimes it feels like they loved to nerv the fun things players like to do in Palia

[cloud obsidian]

Ranged hunting! Still a VERY sore subject for me.

[marsh depot]

Yeah they really have a tendency to nerf rather than balance. I know they buffed some prices for some stuff iirc? But I def agree.

Palia is about finding your own path unless that path isn't cooking, decorating or plush collecting. /hj

[young plank]

its tree chopping! /j

[cloud obsidian]

My most favorite times in Palia were my days off of work where I would get up early with a cup of coffee and log on and spend a day in Bahari running around taking out critters sniper style. Hunting hasn't been the same since they "fixed" ranged hunting, nor is hunting as fun as it was back then.

[proper bone]

don't forget the mining.. yea I remember one streamer who asked lately wasn't the mantis to show up a little better I told the streamer its the plushi -phenomenon. If its got a plush it doesn't show up like before and thats why i vote for the blue Butterfly

[old dirge]

It wasn't in the patch notes and I haven't seen anyone mention getting it. Now that 0.199 is out it could be in any patch - the next one, one in 3 months, one in a year - but we won't know til they tell us or someone gets it

[cloud obsidian]

Pink Maji Plush or the Elderwood Fun Guy Plush? Pink is in there, EW Fun Guy is not afaik.

[sand frigate]

yeah I was wondering about the madrinas fun guy

[marsh depot]

Yeah that was a really unpopular fix, specially with how fast those ogopuus run.

[old dirge]

Oh, I meant to specify since the other person didnt. Fun guy(pink maji dragon has been there for quite awhile, I finally got it two days ago) - we were told that it would be added no sooner than 0.199

[sand frigate]

yeah I know, my original comment was:
does anyone know if they put the Madrinas plush ( renamed) in the zeki ball machine? I know they said it COULD be in there by patch 0.199, but is it actually?

[marsh depot]

I knew someone who had just started playing when starstones were first introduced, had a lot of fun mining them for profit. Then the game nerfed them and the person quit the game entirely.

[cloud obsidian]

... and they still teleport around and lose their hitbox as they enter their dive animation. 🙄

[marsh depot]

They found their niche with plushes and that's fine but it's already starting to feel oversaturated.

[marsh depot]

Oh yeah. Lost so many like that. I can hunt them solo more or less alright but it's just not fun

[old dirge]

"Enough time" unless you're a casual player without amazing luck - I'd bet most players only get in a couple hours a week so they could have as few as 8 chances to get the recipes from the Kilima pile and if they're newer they also have to play most of the msq in that time, grind essence, also get the rng recipe from bahari piles, and craft skme or all of s furniture set before they could possibly get the snowy recipes from kilima piles

[proper bone]

and do not forget they had to get the essence for buying the camping set...

[devout crypt]

Agreed!!

[cloud obsidian]

I wish this applied to other items in the game and not just monetized ones.

[marsh depot]

Yep, statistically, it's not that it's impossible just very unlikely.

[marsh depot]

Which some players are sadly locked out of because they can't complete main story quests due to accesibility/bugs/etc.

[marsh depot]

The mystery outfit gifting exists.

The rotating sales store exists.

But yes, I agree with your point.

Now they've shown they're willing to monetise on bypassing RNG as shown with the Kitsuu battlepass having the very rare Kitsuu plushes (and the devs specifically telling players not to grind for them) and the boovar starter pack that includes the Divine Doughnut.

[proper bone]

People still aksing for the new Funguy Plush... I am still wondering why are all the Flutterfox and the drake plush is still not avaliable for the lucky coins...they exist for so long now

[marsh depot]

FOMO. That's why. And so they can give them away to players who gift mystery outfits.

[devout crypt]

I play on PC, and it seems after every updated bulletin board, my game lags so horribly! On a side note, I tried submitting a ticket about feeding the barn animals glitch, my plot STILL has hollowed out trees (which have been like that forever…some, not all) and I cannot stand the looks of them…and even submitting a ticket is not working for me any longer. I try to log in and it won’t let me. It feels to me that S6 is caring more about the money than actually fixing issues and actually listening and caring about the players.

[cloud obsidian]

"With Palia, we’ll only be monetizing cosmetic content. At first, this will focus on character clothing and costumes, but we’ll evaluate more spaces as time goes on. There’s nothing revolutionary here; clothing and costumes have long been a staple of successful, player-friendly, free-to-play (F2P) monetization systems. We think it will be a good fit for Palia as well." - Posted in 2022

[devout crypt]

And a majority of these new outfits are hideous! 😂

[proper bone]

yea but next time it will not work because they said nothing except cosmetics will be for sale something like this must be an extra and as far as I heard some players got them double again

[marsh depot]

Feels like those times are so back behind us now.

And I get it, they need to make a profit. But they simply started going down a slippery slope many players were concerned about with little word on how they'd update their monetisation practices.

And even then, many other games still offer earnable cosmetics. Like for the landscapes, they could've made some of them just cost a very high amount of gold coins, and also make them available to purchase with paid currency.

[cloud obsidian]

The armor is the first outfit I have bought in a very long time. I can fly without a glider, and it is fairly customizable. Imho, they did okay with this one.

[marsh depot]

Honestly the whole mystery gifting would be fine if they simply also gave an option to gift specific outfits as well.

[devout crypt]

Wait..what? You can glide with that outfit? I did not know that!!

[cloud obsidian]

PLEASE give players the option to gift based on the recipient's frame- masculine or feminine. I have a wardrobe with tons of gifted stuff that I will never wear because as a male, with an avatar that is also male, some of these look bad or just plain silly on me.

[proper bone]

or at least categories...

[cloud obsidian]

the glider is toggleable on/off. You can fly like a superhero.

[proper bone]

My male friend was really lucky ^^

[marsh depot]

Yeah, the whole mystery gifting thing just feels like it was taken from League (maybe other games too but I'm saying League because it's what I'm familiar with and there are former Riot employees) but without taking into account why it more or less worked on League.

At least in League, the worst that can happen is you either get a champion you don't like, or a skin you don't like. But that is also a very sort of outdated mechanic in the store because you can just gift the currency or specific skins.

I get they introduced mystery gifting as a way to "make cosmetics more accessible for players" or whatever, and to avoid "scams" but as we saw, that wasn't really the case. It only caused a whole other issue.

[cloud obsidian]

here's the thing: by making the gifting non gender specific, the team still gets the revenue, and the pool of (unowned recipient) outfits for players to gift is larger to draw from. Palia is getting their money, and it feels - FEELS almost like it borders on gambling as to if you will get an outfit that is suitable for the recipient.

[naive raft]

im slowly getting more and more obessed w the dynamic between hassain and reth should I be worried or am I too far gone

[marsh depot]

It is though. It sort of enables that and for a game that's supposedly marketed to children as well, don't know how that feels. We were concerned about this when the feature was first teased/announced.

Not to mention other issues considering you can't reject gifts.

[cloud obsidian]

it could be fixed by a toggle enabling/disabling acceptance of player gifts, and a toggle for gender frame preference that the mystery gift would respect.

[devout crypt]

Even the Twitch drops seem kinda lame any more 😬 That’s how it feels to my daughter and I…idk if anyone else feels the same way lol

[marsh depot]

Trust, we all loved our Twitch drop fertiliser rewards /s

[proper bone]

At least no more 10h watching for stuffXP

[devout crypt]

I noticed as well, that we seem to be getting a lot of star stones from mining. Wondering if that’s going to get nerfed when the event with Hodari comes out…

[cloud obsidian]

Everyone is wearing Palcat glasses! Oh look everyone is wearing RTB glasses.. oh hey Duskwing glasses, Sunny glasses.. oh...

[proper bone]

they had nerfed it already was more in earlier days

[proper bone]

Yea so people won't notice the dark circles under my eyes from getting that one plushie..

[cloud obsidian]

or from logging in 100 times in a row trying to get the snowy recipes...

[proper bone]

all new players by now...plushies...blueprints i would be fine with even finding some stuff to upgrade my tools

[dull crow]

or upgrade the chest for more inventory space XD

[young plank]

i remember before the stones were nerfed it took me 8 hours to earn 100k just in stones alone it was nice

[proper bone]

I loved to mine it was so fun

[dark moon]

Idk if its just me, but this months bulletin board makes me not want to play...

[patent comet]

is anyone having trouble logging in rn? it logged me out and now says "unable to connect to login servers. please try again later" and won't let me in. not sure if i'm missing something

[bleak jay]

Hello! I just completed a daily quest for 3 Ceramic. I claimed the reward but the ceramic didn't get taken out of my inventory.

[warm adder]

Yeah that's how the dailies work : )

[bleak jay]

So it is OK for the ceramic to still be in my inventory after claiming the reward?!

I'll take that as a yes.

[devout crypt]

Yes, all you have to do is collect it after you make it. You can put it in storage or sell it. Same goes for the fishing as well 🙂

[bleak jay]

Thanks for clarifying! 🙂

[thick moon]

I have the recipe for snowy grass 1 and 2, and when I go to craft it, it's the same. Is anyone else having this problem? 😢

This

[lyric night]

they just messed up the recipes

enjoy ur basically cheaper big terrace I guess

[thick moon]

[empty spire]

Has anyone noticed if they are earning XP towards the new lunar event? None of my group is getting XP on that path.

[little robin]

Have they activated the Lunar Path?

[empty spire]

As far as I know. We all went to the bulletin board at the beginning of the week, talked to Elouisa, and have done our dailies. I had assumed it was because I hadn't finished the kitsuu path but I did that yesterday.

[little robin]

o To activate a Lunar Path, you must click the lightning bolt icon in the right hand corner of the Lunar Path square.

o You can verify you have activated a Lunar Path by reviewing the top banner on your Lunar Path page. You will also see the blue lightning bolt on the small Lunar Path square below the banner. You will also see an icon attached to a bar under your username in the top left corner of your screen that corresponds with the Lunar Path you chose – Kitsuu is a red fox-like creature; Cardigan is a green and yellow flower (as of January 2026).

[empty spire]

Ty

[thick moon]

I submitted a ticket regarding the snowy grass recipe issue.
. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[empty spire]

That worked

[cosmic fog]

No way

I need to know who are the other rockerpods now

Ok so there's like 7 of them and the first one I got HAD to be gerard. Ok. I'm haunted

[copper vault]

Wish we could sell furnitures.. the amount I made trying to unlock the lamps 😅

Almost finishrd one!! Started playing end of last month, couldnt finish it

[pallid ferry]

Warning: void
So shimmery!
Anyway, back to joining friends' servers..

[icy jacinth]

we NEED tintable builders decor. how do i get that to the right persons ears? lol

Thank you! Just made one too

[alpine pecan]

What do ferris give you in ranching when you collect from them?

[tight ibex]

All kinds of fruit

[alpine pecan]

Thankyou

[fluid isle]

Anyone lose connection to server?

[lyric fog]

is Palia not laggy on ps5?

[fallow pelican]

are servers down/not loading for others or only me??

[fossil juniper]

Yeah, I would make so much money selling back to Tish. Instead, I've just been trashing furniture if it's no longer needed.

[carmine garden]

Hi everyone, is the only way to get the snowy furniture recipe from the kilma rummage pile ? I check every day and all I get are snow balls lol 😂

[digital rose]

Decor takes up no space in your storage chests or lockboxes. Some people put them in the lockboxes to reduce the visual clutter in their storage chests.

[marsh depot]

Yes, there is an inventory trick to force the recipes but it's quite tedious.

[stable kayak]

yep I'm down too.... it's logged me out, can't log back in

[carmine garden]

It’s probably better than waiting one time a day to get snowballs every time lol

[marsh depot]

True, it'll at least guarantee you'll get them. Sucks we have to resort to that though

Just mak sure to fill up your inventory (easiest way is with furniture) and ammo pouch with arrows/smokebombs. Then just hop servers until you see a loot message.

[carmine garden]

I can definitely fill up my bags ty for that and I have server hopped but I’m stuck on understanding how will I know if it’s in the pile when I can only pick up one pile a day (real life day) what am I missing here lol 😂

[marsh depot]

You'll know it's in the pile when you can see you can loot the pile. It's why it's so tedious.

[carmine garden]

Oh dang it lol I get it now omg lol 😂 thank you 🙏🏻

Wait then I’ll have to do this two times bc it’s two different recipes lol 😂

Wow 😳 ok then off I go 🤦🏼‍♀️

[dark moon]

I wish, I could invite me shepp to dinner... he doesn't eat, but it would be nice to see him in my house at my dining table

And no, Kenli is not my shepp because I didnt want him to think I would only marry him for a green card

[marsh depot]

Wouldn't it be a purple card?

[dark moon]

You are so right

[marsh depot]

Can you even make Kenli your shepp?

[dark moon]

Yes you can, any character except the gardener can be your shepp i believe

[fiery sphinx]

Eshe also can't.

[fiery perch]

I dont' think Subira can either?

[fiery sphinx]

Yeah, I don't think so.

[marsh depot]

I can't imagine having Kenli as a Shepp, I feel like I'd be guiding him more than him me Though I will say he's the character I feel the sorriest for

[marsh depot]

Yeah, I found this out sadly. Otherwise I'd have loved to make her my Shep. Just cause it's fun to annoy her.

[fiery sphinx]

I tried also

[dark moon]

I thought she could once you reached lvl 4

She has the option to ask, I was just hellbent on einar

[fiery sphinx]

No. For Eshe, it's a conflict of interest. Probably the same for Subira, plus she technically doesn't live in the village.

[marsh depot]

For me Eshe is just the Miranda Priestly of Palia.

[dark moon]

I have no idea who that is, but I believe you

[dark moon]

Tbh the shepp's aren't guiding anyone atm... cause they are forgotten... just like other parts of palia stares longingly at our VFX request

[fiery perch]

I know some folks picked Kenli on accident by going through dialogue too fast, and if i remember right, there used to be a bug where folks ended up getting Kenli ias their shepp.

And kenli asks if he did a good job with introducing you to winterlights & if he's a good shepp, and one of the options is even, "Actually, I picked you by accident." ..which is kinda sad.

[marsh depot]

If I said Eshe is the Miranda of Palia, then Kenli would be the Toby Flenderson of the game. Man deserves better.

[dark moon]

Thats so sad, kenli is so kind and considerate of everyone, which totally makes him a bad mayor since he is a people pleaser, but he is thoughtful

[fiery sphinx]

Yeah, Tish is my Shepp because I jumped on the first person I got to level 4 with and I just knew something amazing was locked behind that quest because they made it seem so important... and then nothing.

[marsh depot]

Still better than most irl mayors But true.

[dark moon]

There was something amazing locked behind tish, the loss of a ruby... Oops I mean aquamarine

[fiery sphinx]

I long for the option to change shepps because Tish has crazy eyes and is definitely hiding bodies in that cave in Bahari...

[dark moon]

But dont worry, palia is the land of abundance, even if you have been mining for 2 yrs, if you just grind really hard you too might get another starred ruby

[marsh depot]

That one line of hers really catches me off guard everytime

[marsh depot]

Unless you were ransacking some Temples

[dark moon]

You mean unless you were revisiting the plot line.

Temples, whaaa temples?

Gales was a very great area

[marsh depot]

Yes, exactly. Revisting the plot line. Totally

No Legend of Zelda type of shenanigans going on

[dark moon]

How many people are gonna cry next week when they do all that mining for the event and still not kitsuu plushies

[marsh depot]

Expecting chats to be flooded already.

[dark moon]

Gonna say it now so no one comes after me in-game. If you see me mining? I'm currently mining my own business, no I will not look at chat, and I left my flares at home

That ore compass cost me ingredients that are worth more than what it sells for

[marsh depot]

If I see Shampoo in game, throw them a Kenli, got it (kidding obviously)

[dark moon]

If i could have a kenli plush

S6 want money so badly, drop the irl villager plushies

As an independent serial crafter, do not make me make my own kenli plush, cause I will not be stopped, after kenli I will have to make Einar, cause how is it i make my mans and not my shepp?

[marsh depot]

Imagine the ranching drawing contest actually gave us the Kenli ranching animal. A barn full of Kenlis...

[dark moon]

There is a ranching drawing contest? Where?!

[marsh depot]

Well, the one to guess which new pokemon we were getting /j. The one that came before the Goobi was introduced

[dark moon]

Ohh that, no that was a predetermined animal and we had to guess what it was, it wasnt asking us for our input

I skipped it

[marsh depot]

I know But imagine the Goobis wouldve been the Kenli submission instead

That was the best one honestly.

[dark moon]

Are all the in shop pets going to become rancing animals? Cause if hassian throws a fit over me raising plumehounds, I will find a way to fist fight him

[marsh depot]

It'd be so cute to have our own plumehounds though. At least for me cause I'm not about paying for one, as cute as they are.

I will always take a chance to fight Hassian.

[dark moon]

Cause like who are we missing? Galdur pups? Dragons?

[marsh depot]

Wolpunnies, wols, Torocats

[dark moon]

I FORGOT about the wolpunnied

[marsh depot]

And I guess... the cloud.

[dark moon]

Just like how s6 forgot about out shepps

Would it be the torocat? Or the palcat?

I want a torocat bean bag chair. What would the wols bring? Animal drops? Like chapaa meat, sernuk horns?

Bunnies i can see bringing us insects

[marsh depot]

I mean... both? If they made the Ferris a ranching animal, backpack and all why not the Torocat

[dark moon]

Can the dragons bring us essence?

[fluid finch]

Need an animal to bring mosses, roots, cloves, etc...

[marsh depot]

Now this, this would be game changing. As long as they unlock the shops for people who haven't completed main story quest.

[dark moon]

Or the galdur pups?

When will they make the eleroo elephant a pet instead of a glider? And when will we get more lore about Eleroo? All we know is that they have elephants and eels

[dark moon]

Maybe this could be the bunnies

We know so much about inyvern, they have mermaids, they have fishermen, some of their fishermen can make sushi, they are excellent sailors, they have Reth's ||parents body||

[marsh depot]

They have what now

[dark moon]

And we barely know about bahari, it has the order dutchess, hodari's sister, jel's mother and sister, eshe's family, a serial killer, the cartel, several fish, and train heading towards harvest meadows

[dark moon]

Fishermen??

[marsh depot]

Shampoo pls 😭

[dark moon]

In Reth's story he talks about his ||parents dying in a trip to inyvern|| its a very Elsa and Anya story. One sibling, outside the norm of their parent's expectations, the other... sick. The eldest leaves to make things better for the youngest

Reth is literally Elsa, which means according to fan theory, Reth and Tish should have a lost sibling in a jungle somewhere which I am going to assume is Eleroo

[marsh depot]

Ohhh yeah. It's been a hot minute since I read that (and might have skipped some info).

[dark moon]

Dont worry, we at Palia Conspiracies R Us, pride ourselves on having accurate lore to feed our theories

[fluid finch]

I wonder if Ulfe knows about them, as another lost waif in the woods.

[marsh depot]

Certified Palian Historian

[marsh depot]

And a distant cousin with magical glowing hair? /j

[dark moon]

I dont believe the Umbraan village is near the Inyvern Village

The basis for this, is that Hassian and Sifuu, who are the closest in complexion to Ulfe, had to traverse a meadow and a mountain to get to kilima

[dark moon]

Yes exactly

[fluid finch]

I was thinking more on how he's lost in the Elderwood, less that he was from Umbra.

[marsh depot]

Maybe that's the source of Tamala's youth (I'm jesting here)

[dark moon]

Tbh, I dont believe that ulfe is the child ashura left behind, cause traumantula with her 10% off pancakes at ihop, said she remember ashura arriving 40 yrs ago. And ashura remembered when sifuu arrived, cause taylin was around when his wife died, so ulfe cant be taylins kid either.

Also according to ashura ,his son has to be around 30 yrs old now, cause he was gone before najuuma lost her mum, but auni and najuuma are clearly older than ulfe, so I think ulfe was given the Moses from Prince of Egypt treatment from the umbraan village

According to the lore umbraan people still use flow. What if ulfe cant use flow?

[marsh depot]

So Umbre is the Maribel of the Umbraans?

[dark moon]

Uhm yes?

[marsh depot]

I really hope we get some more lore on the Umbraan and Ulfe soon, release him from EW jail S6.

[dark moon]

Forget ulfe. I want more hoppington lore

Wdym he is a king? And has a kingdom. Where?!

Does he have a golden throne?

Is it a frog sized kingdom? Is this where frogbert comes from?

[marsh depot]

Don't know how he'll react when he finds out I still have 300 of his brethren as hostages.

[dark moon]

How did they make a statue of him?

[dark moon]

Does he know that I captured the produce version of his brethren?

[marsh depot]

He knows too much.

[dark moon]

I need more of him, next makeshift plush, and please give him a crown

[marsh depot]

Free Hoppington 2026

[dark moon]

I need S6 to make more plushies irl,to stop me from doing it. Im still drafting my tau plush

[dark moon]

Hoppington for Duke 2026

[marsh depot]

Vote Hoppington 2026

[marsh depot]

The literal definition of "fine, I'll do it myself".

[dark moon]

Tired of your farm being taxed even though your grandfather and the dukes grandfather had a written agreement? Vote Hoppington. Frogs dont care about land rights.

[marsh depot]

Honestly though, give us an artbook. Irl plushes or keychains. But not like the Maji one please, make them look more like the ingame ones.

[dark moon]

Yes, yesss!!!

[marsh depot]

And also not tied to Madrinas. Please.

[dark moon]

Yeah why cant you partner with like, ancient Chinese jujube tea for gut health or something

Some of us dont like all that sugar

Partner with apple juice

[marsh depot]

Yeah, a spoonful of sugar doesnt always make the medicine go down. (And I still don't like how they specify their sourcing).

[marsh depot]

Arizona Green Tea collab when?

They already have that very inspired outfit. Might as well.

[dark moon]

The college outfit?

[marsh depot]

Yeah, the campus chic one.

[dark moon]

Maybe I just make a bunch of plushies and then wait for them to hit me up and I will be like, here you go, the pattern pieces, this is what the people want

[marsh depot]

low quality on purpose, just for the lolz (and it's late at night )

[marsh depot]

I support this. Honestly if they made a Kickstarter campaign, I'd be willing to back it.

[dark moon]

Tau probably won't be finished until after the mining event, I have a convention next week, unless I make him a desk plush

[marsh depot]

I'd love to see when you finish him! A desk plush would be cute too

You know what would make S6 loads of money if they ever released? Ita bags.

[dark moon]

I can not get another ita bag, i have two and I only use one(if they make a maws ita bag, I can find a way for money to escape my wallet)

[dark moon]

If i make it desk size he can sit with my sernuk

I want to remake my sernuk

Plans for after the mining event is over

[marsh depot]

This makes me think of a meme But it's too late. Maybe for tomorrow.

[dark moon]

Also, their graphic design is my passion sweaters.... just sell irl versions

Its fine, we will buy it, trust

[marsh depot]

This sounds too cute. I need

[marsh depot]

Those would sell well at conventions.

[stiff nymph]

A physical hotpot would sell out like instantly.

I don't even play hotpot and I'd buy it.

[marsh depot]

Pleeeease. I beg S6.

[celest inlet]

do i need to complete the bundles to unlock the last chest at top?

whoever said no then why can't i claim the last chest? the bar is full

[shut yacht]

It's probably a visual glitch and not completely full. People got the last chest without doing all 4 bundles. Keep doing the dailies/weeklies and you should reach the last chest soon

[dawn mountain]

The snow recipes are only through kilima rummage? Cause that sucks

[woven moss]

Yes, only through rummage piles.

[dawn mountain]

Ty
Goodness not everyone can be on constantly tho

[woven moss]

The rummage piles from what I understand are only once every 24 hours and getting the recipes you need for the bundle is pure RNG, so I have low hopes of being able to complete it.

[dawn mountain]

Same

[woven moss]

Plus I need to grind 3000 essence to get the cozy furniture bundle from EW

[dawn mountain]

Yeah this is a lot to ask i mean it maybe for a month long thing but that is still a lot

[woven moss]

I agree. I usually am not able to complete the bundles since I don't have all that much time to dedicate to the game. I understand that some people feel the bundles are too easy, though

[dawn mountain]

That's fair

[winter grotto]

Is there any way to connect 2 rooms at once in a house with hallways? (Is that a thing that can be added?)

[vivid oar]

there is a hallway for the old housing type, but neither of the new housing types from the new system have a hallway addition yet sadly :( hopfully the next one will, its something lots of people have been aking for

[quiet narwhal]

Big bug

[winter grotto]

So with the old house type- if I use hallways on each room, would the spacing be proper enough to put it together with another room? Thinking like 4 rooms put together connected by hallways

[vivid oar]

Im not exactly sure what you mean, if u want you can come to my plot and i can put some down and show u the size?

Or give u editor and u can test for yourself as Im unsure exactly what u mean hahaa

[stoic crane]

I hate the pile recipes. I just want the pavilion recipe so I can be done with it ugh

[thick moon]

Aaargh again cooking crashing for me… is crashing a lot today.

[proper bone]

I just see one missed chance again..why do they lately only hand out the big carpet instead of the complete set? Maybe in two levels would be fine but I wish I could have more of the smal ones of the Palcat head...

[vivid oar]

Im sure they will add the other ones to future paths, maybe they will eventually add em to the new killima coin shop thing

[proper bone]

Yea we have them for over a year now and its like with the Flutterfox, the Palcat and the Drake they will not be added I lost my hope there

[vivid oar]

the new paths and coins have only been in the came for a month and a half hahaa, fingers crossed :D

[dark moon]

They keep adding them to community prizes every since we complained since the very first twitch drops, were most people couldn't get their accounts connected

[proper bone]

they are not even in the store for kilima coins so..

[vivid oar]

nope but maybe eventually, having decorating things locked behind only being able to get a limited amount is an odd choice since decorating is essentially the end game (unfortunately)

[dark moon]

It won't stop them >-> the palcat rugs were originally locked behind twitch rewards, the sandy palcat was locked behind a community event i believe. Plushie trading frees up a lot of the plushies. But they used to be considered very rare

[vivid oar]

I understand why plushies are more 'rare' since u can trade them and they are more collectables than furniture. But a rug is nothing but a floor hat, and often people want to match multiple rugs in a space or however people decorate so only being able to get them vary rarely when decorating is kinda the end game... just seems like a strange choice but I guess some other decoration items are one offs like quest rewards so shrug

[dark moon]

I wish things were less grindy

[faint seal]

Question about the rummage recipes. I tried the full inventory trick last night and it working let me interact with the rummage pile. I cleared one inventory space and got… corn - woohoo.

Did I do something wrong, or did they do a hot fix?

[proper bone]

Does not work like before they combi the blueprint with snowballs so if your both inventories are ful you cannot pick it up even if it is a blueprint

[lapis loom]

I filled my inventory & picked up my rummage pile in kilima hoping for a recipe and got the the key item “Bahai boyz record” and snow balls 😒

[stoic crane]

That’s not true, I picked the snowy lawns and the snowy parsol up just fine with full inventory’s

[proper bone]

then you were lucky does not worek for everyone

[stoic crane]

Multiple of my friends could pick it up just fine. So seems like a bugg then

[stiff igloo]

Make sure your inventory is filled and your ammo inventory space is filled as well

[drowsy birch]

If you've gotten the snowy recipes, how long did it take you? I've been server hopping for an hour and... T_T sigh.. the luck of rng is not with me lol

[fluid finch]

I got the Snowy Pavilion recipe along with 25 snowballs, so I had to free up ammo space before I could collect it. So it's possible to get the recipes even if it says "inventory full" when you go to pick it up.

It has taken me hours, every day this week, to get one. It was only like 4 hours of trying with the full inventory trick, and only like an hour and a half after I decided to make some cozy camp pavilions to encourage a recipe to drop... It's all random, sadly.

[drowsy birch]

I just learned something new! I never knew this, and I hope the word gets out about this :)

[marsh depot]

This is true yes, but you'll miss out on the Killima coins that are only available through completing the bundles. The floorings are available without finishing them.

#💬│palia-discussions message linking to froggas summary of the rewards

Do wish they had explained it better in game because it can be confusing at first. Still very much sucks they tied the bundle to RNG recipes.

[cloud obsidian]

Update: Day 5. After packing my inventory full of things that the pile in Kilima will not drop, and relogging for about an hour checking the pile. I finally got the Snowy Parasol recipe. Exciting... maybe. The board asks for 10 crafted Snowy Parasols. Each Parasol uses 20 snowballs in crafting. That is 200 snowballs to fill that one bundle requirement. I am assuming the other Snowy furniture item will require the same, or more. That will be at least 400 snowballs total. Now if I happen to be lucky enough to get all 4 recipes and want to craft some snowy decor for myself, it will take even more snowballs. Did we not just spend most of those last patch making snowmen plushies? WHY did they close the winterlight store where we could buy snowballs if they were going to insert recipes and a bundle that requires a LOT of snowballs. Make it make sense please. This is the kind of thing that causes feelings of FOMO. Hard enough to get the recipe, even harder to get the items needed to make the recipes, and if you want some to keep and decorate with well good luck!

[proper bone]

yea and that's why they give you snowballs with everything you get from the Kilima RP even a Potato but it only fills up chest inventory space...sometimes i miss the common sense...

[fluid finch]

Yeah, I want to finish that last bundle for the Kilima Coins. I already got all the Chest rewards from the bundles.

[proper bone]

Me too I already lost 20 coins for the fishing postion and it did not work as discribed wrote a repord never got an answer...

[terse flint]

i just came on the game first time since giving birth, and ive been using 3 days trying to find the black pearl. I just realized i need to open the mushrooms hahahah. I've been gathering hundreds lol, and ofc selling them before opening.

[rugged skiff]

I wish we could run like.. a BIT faster. This is like a jog. We need a sprint option that takes stamina like cliff climbing

[shut grove]

Agreed, when someone calls something out in Bahari and it's across the map, and I know no matter how quick I start hoofing it over there I won't make it through no fault of my own, just the run speed and sub optimal layout. Frustrating. Like yeah I can go to the nearest stables and maybe get closer but that relies on being a decent distance from those, and then the next location being in proximity to another stable.

Bahari is frankly one of the most poorly laid out/tedious open world video game locations i have ever dealt with tbh.

[rugged skiff]

Idk abt y’all but I have the WORST time finding mining nodes in Bahari, there’s too many cliffs (that are usually empty). Vs Kilima it’s super easy to get copper

[marsh depot]

And then there's EW with the inconsistent lighting

[shut grove]

Yes!!! Just getting around it is sometimes so annoying. Especially when you're on one side and have to find those annoying "gates" through to the other side.

[shut grove]

Last night I was doing the Night Sky Temple quest with Subira and the lighting in there...it's just imperceivably dark

[winter grotto]

I’d be willing if you are online today?

[marsh depot]

At this point, the radio silence is getting to be too much tbh. I don't even care about the sales, there's more important issues happening in the game right now.

Can't make money if your playerbase is unhappy and burnt out.

I hope next week they say something. At least give players the recipes or the furniture, they've done it before. Address the firework issue in the underground properly, have a warning in game (they've done this before too). The it's a free game/in beta excuse doesn't cut it.

[stoic crane]

Yeah and if you are really unlucky you won’t get the recipe either by the time the bundles that are on now end. Why make it so difficult especially for new players…

I spend hours today trying to get my last recipe

[faint seal]

I did that and couldn’t interact with the loot pile

[marsh depot]

You have to hop servers until you can loot it.

[vivid oar]

im on now if u want :) If not just drop me a msg whenever Im usually around

[winter grotto]

What’s your handle?

[vivid oar]

keeby keeberson < I am son of the keebys

[winter grotto]

I’ll see if I can find you on my server lol

[vivid oar]

Whats urs, ill add u now

[winter grotto]

Shion Maibito- just sent you a rq

[nimble tangle]

Oh, but I had the full inventory, many hours of server hopping and a greyed out "loot" indicator. Why? Snowballs and a carrot (snowballs went to storage - ammos was full, too).

Today, hours of hopping. Get a "loot" message finally. My prize? The recipe for the plushie pool that is ALWAYS on sale in the shop.

Are they trolling us with this?

[young plank]

Its wild to me that there seems to be a lack of communication when there's even a hint of backlash. This board was the only thing left that was pulling me in for the patch since theres a very big gap between the story contents and the heres something else thats expensive for the filler shop updates. Sure its a filler patch but im sorry this is the first time i feel very strongly about an update how things are being handled. Im upset because once again im stuck in limbo waiting for more story content. Wheres ulfe?! What does tramula have to do with the story?! Why is there such a lack of lore in the game?! You even took away the want system by asking each villager and it having be immersive (atleast to me) and instead slapped it on the board completely cutting out the npcs what happened to the lvl 5 quests the were so adament about. im sure lots of people have those chars up at lvl 5. It just screams theres a huge on going problem. Ive been saying this for years.

[marsh depot]

We shouldn't even need to do this for completing the bundle tbh. They've simply locked the bundle behind RNG and Main Story quest and that's the worst thing they could've done.

Sometimes it's honestly as if they didn't know their playerbase.

[nimble tangle]

Yeah. Make it annoying for everyone to log in to play by creating the need for players to game the servers to find this nonsense.

Worst thing is you can't finish it if you didn't find at least one already as there's only 1 rumage pile reset left.

THIS.

[marsh depot]

I already wasn't willing to spend money in the game, I would've purchased the FP but between the very unrewarding Path and Bundle rewards, I don't even want to log in :/

[young plank]

Its another ploy for them to get their numbers up of look! this many people are loggin in for the investors at this rate. The communication has been very lack luster recently and i feel like having just 1 cm isnt enough. Its mindnumbing the actions paila takes sometimes.

[lyric night]

bulletin board is active until the next patch in 3-4 weeks btw, there isn't only one reset left

but yeah it's really annoying
I don't mind new items in the rummage piles, I'm glad that there are new ones in them, but they should not be requirements for the bulletin board

[young plank]

im loggin in for my items and then not touching this update sadly. I refuse to have to be forced to finish the board which was a way for NEW PLAYERS to join in the fun. This just feels like a slap in the face.

[marsh depot]

I mean even for older players it's a slap to the face with those rewards :/ The Killima coins are good but the rest? Doesn't cut the effort.

Even if we were asking to make the boards a bit more complicated, I don't think anyone wanted this.

[round hornet]

Hi devs! 💖
I love the colors and overall graphics of the game, and decorating my plot is my favorite part—especially now that it’s available on console. However, console players are much more limited creatively compared to PC players, especially when it comes to item glitches and advanced decorating.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’d love to see more holiday-themed options like ruby red or heart-patterned wallpapers, floral or chocolate designs, Valentine plushies (like a chappa holding a heart), and new picture frames . More bright, colorful wallpapers in general would be amazing!

It would also be great if console users could have easier ways to “glitch” or apply wallpapers to floors or wood surfaces, place fences on Elwood platforms (for bridges), and have more flexibility overall—similar to what PC users can do.

Lastly, releasing holiday wallpapers before the holiday (ex: November for Christmas) would really help busy players like myself enjoy decorating in time. Thanks so much for all the work you do—I really love this game and hope these ideas can be considered! 💕✨

[marsh depot]

I'm gonna hope not... That'd really rub salt in the wound.

[stoic crane]

Exactly, no one wants to be forced to log in daily just to get to a rummage pile for a chance of a recipe

Ty

[fossil juniper]

Adorable! Yes!

[young plank]

Im just so royally mad and upset how palia seems to want to back track and slap more rng grind on things! PUT A PITY SYSTEM THEN omg its basic game play!

[stoic crane]

I have been wasting hours of my life to try and get a recipe. They should at least have increased it so that we get the recipes quicker

[round hornet]

I sent the feedback to the developers thank you for the link. I appreciate it. Because I work full-time I only get really a little bit of hours during the weekend. I really enjoy playing, especially developing my plot and I admire people out there who can do so much glitching and I wish I had the opportunity to be able to do more with my plot right now I’m trying to decorate for valentines, but they’re not a lot of good colors to choose from and I would love to have like heart shaped stuff around.

[young plank]

There came a point where i used to love everything about palia and now things like this just make me cry a little inside

[stoic crane]

Same, it all feels so grindy now. It isn’t fun anymore

[young plank]

sadly they have never done a valentines so it would be interesting how they would tie that into the palia lore

[marsh depot]

But instead they decided to increase the rate of snowballs instead of keeping the Winterlights store open Make it make sense.

[dull crow]

yeah the mind of the devs are mysterious and complex XD

[stoic crane]

Exactly. Also those recipes would have been better last month

[marsh depot]

Honestly it just doesn't seem like it was thought out. Simply a filler patch.

[dull crow]

they would be good this month aswell if they would just keep the shop and didnt lower the % for the new recepies for the board

[young plank]

if they are so upset about havin the holiday then set out piles of snow that you can get infinite snowballs so that you dont have to mess with your dang rummage piles.

[dull crow]

i cant wait for all the ppl who are complaining that they coudlnt finish there board cause they didnt got drop the recpie. They could jsut let the recepie drop on every rp kilima,bahara and ew so you got 4 chance a day instead of 1 chance a day with only like 20-30 tries cause with the next months the next patch comes and the board will be gone.

[nimble tangle]

id prefer to keep the really limited artefacts in the elder piles, tbh

at least those oyu can then share with people who don't have htem when your'e completed

[dull crow]

they could be just there for the patch cause of the new recepie in the ew plies you could get presents aswell for the snowman plushie

[stiff nymph]

That...would have made sense though.

[stoic crane]

Point still is I would rather not have a recipe that we need for a bundle ever again in a rummage pile

[young plank]

mhm its just yeah. im tired and want of this roller coaster ride please.

[dull crow]

normaly you never get problem with this cause if you already obtained all quest and recepie from the rp it would kinda insta drop it for you but yeah lock board things behind this questinalble rng mechanic is insane

[round hornet]

Easy you can tie that to the game . Tish for example. Technically they don’t have to do anything with the word valentines, but they can do a wallpaper that’s with red hearts or pink heart, and tie that to the character Tish. They also can do other wallpapers tied to each character as well.

[stiff nymph]

TBH I'm taking a break from the game till LNY and then...probably taking another break especially since they wanna do the server merge.

(And yeah, I get the whole servers depricate (?) and etc. It's just gonna make things like server takeovers, resource gathering harder, and general toxicity go up).

(Edit: might try the starstone thing but idk).

[stoic crane]

Yeah I got all the recipes etc except for one of the bundle recipes. It’s so annoying that they put it in the rummage pile

[dull crow]

yeah lucky you i didnt got any reciepe and the the clock is ticking

[stoic crane]

Another awful decision they made

[young plank]

but you already get the wallpapers from each of the villagers and theres a pink one already. I dont see them doing extra things sadly

[stoic crane]

Yeah, also new players will have a problem getting them bcs there are lots of other recipes

[dull crow]

to summerize it up they really messed it up with this patch

[stoic crane]

They really did

[heavy cedar]

It would be nice to have some event furniture (not valentines maybe) tie into jel or chayne, we have barely anything to do with them

[stoic crane]

I used to love supporting the game by buying stuff but I haven’t bought anything for a while. I’m not sure if i will again

[marsh depot]

I used to want to support the game, but their monetisation practices, refusal to have regional pricing and just overall burn out, makes me not want to. I don't feel like my time or money is valued (that's me though).

[young plank]

YES that would make people talk to the npc more and also get other quests if your still leveling up the npc

[stoic crane]

Yeah same. I feel like we aren’t heard anymore like they used too. Communication also isn’t like it used to be

[marsh depot]

Been a struggle for a long time tbh. There was some improvement but it feels back to square one now.

[lyric night]

they didn't but they are, snowballs as well, tied to the winter season

[young plank]

Ive said this many times but only having 1 cm was a big mistake on s6's part. We had like 3 (or was there 4? i dont remember well... i need coffee) for the whole server which at that time seeemed like communication was at its best. Becuase we could ask questions and get answers alot faster then how it is now.

[marsh depot]

Yeah, we all said it. Lacie shouldn't have to bear all the grunt of it either.

[fiery sphinx]

We had 4 going into open beta, and even that wasn't enough.

[young plank]

4 is better then 1 with a server over 400k+ people it just seems to be putting more stress on the staff then it needs to be

[naive raft]

the more i read from this channel the more tired of the game i get :/
Idk if its just a me thing but i was hoping palia would be a nice mmo to relax on when im tired of the craziness warframe gives me, and from what i read (and i apologise in advance in case i read anything wrojg and took it thr wrong way) its rly sad theyre just going please the investors mode

Like im playing to romance reth and hassain, as well as to progress the story and figure out the games lore,
I just hope stuff gets better man

[stoic crane]

If you are new there’s plenty to do but most of us have been playing for quite a while and we are just a bit fed up about things

There’s not a lot to do for older players

[stoic crane]

It’s a nice game to relax

[stiff nymph]

It's just patterns we've seen over time. I get we might seem doomer about it, but really we want what's best for the game and community and just feel like it's not going in that direction.

[marsh depot]

You don't need to apologise! And I understand if we come across as a bit negative/pessimisitc. I'd say there are definitely things to be enjoyed in the game, it's just that many of our past concerns with the game only seem to be growing.

Like I really was looking forward to start decorating with the new tint system but with all the other stuff happening, it just makes me not want to log in at all.

[fiery sphinx]

A lot of us have been here since alpha and have just become a little sad that the game turned out to be a plushy trading sim instead of the cozy MMO we were promised. S6 themselves don't call it an MMO anymore, mostly because the size of the servers negate that first M.

[marsh depot]

We don't want to drive people away from the game, we just want new players to be aware of certain issues before they decide they want to keep up with this game or making purchases. I used to enjoy this game casually but with the increased FOMO, RNG and grind, it feels more like a chore to keep up with for the sake of keeping your progression.

[fiery sphinx]

More RNG than a gacha.

[marsh depot]

Hey at least gachas have pity systems. I did a 10 pull on Nikki the other day and got blessed with 2 five stars. Palia will just give you 10 corn and 100 fireworks for your troubles.

[stiff nymph]

Pulled a 5 star new character in Wuwa yesterday when Palia would give me 1 blueberry.

[stoic crane]

Or the fish and bugs as a bundle reward

[naive raft]

warframe has already given me enough ptsd from rng 💔
Least their rng is justified tho (e.g. trying to get the hate from stalker),
Im personally struggiling finding stuff to do but i hopr the stuff you guys r worried about gets like accounted for and fixed tho

[fiery sphinx]

Me looking for the snowy parasol recipe... 1 brightshroom, multiple days in a row.

[marsh depot]

You need to show me which one 👀

[stoic crane]

There really is enough to do. The temples are really fun

[fiery sphinx]

Unless you have accessibility needs that prevent you from completing Gales and therefore lock you out of the entire rest of the story.

[stoic crane]

True

[naive raft]

Ive done the temples!! Unless theres extra content in there i missed

[marsh depot]

I'd say Palia is one of those games where you need to keep yourself giving reasons to have things to do. Like, if you plan on decorating, collecting all the lore bits, suffer with the collect all Makeshift furniture.

[marsh depot]

And now the bundles too

[stoic crane]

Yeah or completing/getting all the starred bugs, fish etc

[young plank]

i wish for a way to help other players with gales because they could set it up to be where you share your quest with your party member and then they could run around for you

[dull crow]

regional pricing makes sense and every company is doing this cause every country get different hard hit by inflation.

[fiery sphinx]

If you're here fore lore/story and aren't a decorator or collector, you run out of things to do pretty quickly

[naive raft]

tell me the game was inspired by stardew valley without telling me they were insoired by stardew valley /silly

[stoic crane]

Lol, the bot isn’t having it

[naive raft]

what
is holy bad or awooga bad

My bad reth and hassain r fine 😭😭🙏

[young plank]

just slide the bot a cup of hot motor oil and i think he will let it slide /j

[naive raft]

But as i was tryna say reth and hassain r keeping me here by a thread, that and i saw a layout in pintrest for a house plot i rly like soo, might as well

[stoic crane]

You forgot about hodaddy

[naive raft]

Im not rly into him but i respect the thirst for him

99.9% of my hear me outs are robots for a reason

you should of heard the screams of people the day that man became romanceable insert anime fan group running no sprinting for him

We heard you wanted RNG, so we now have RNG for you RNG. RNG for everyone!

[naive raft]

I would jokingly make fun of them but i actively wait at the bahari bay door thing WAITING for hassain just to talk to him

[stoic crane]

You mean trauma and regret

[marsh depot]

I plead guilty too

[young plank]

i wanted mama sifuu. But i was told shes apart of the dang story so i will NEVER be able to romance her till i know why. im still salty

[marsh depot]

The grind never ends, gotta get those gains /j

[naive raft]

Crying for you brother 😭😭🙏🙏

[stiff nymph]

Ikr.

And yeah, I'm not really into decorating even though I collect things and like the grind there's...not much to do.

(And yeah yeah, I get that it takes time to have more quests, new area, etc. But I mean, I'd be cool with side quests, friendship quests, romance quests, hangout events, date events, etc lol).

[young plank]

sifuu could give me uppies all day LOL i wouldnt have to worry about anything itd be like that meme of me walking all nice and free like and then you hear bam bam is mama sifuu right behind lol

[stoic crane]

Also can they hurry up with the storyline around ulfe. Still salty about that

[naive raft]

S6.
GIVE ME ROMANCE OVERHAUL (just kissing ur partners, cuddiling w them, extra stuff like silly cutscenes n all) AND MY LIFE IS YOURS....

[marsh depot]

If I want to decorate, I'll just pirate download the Sims

Like, I love decorating, but decorating in Palia feels so limited at times.

[young plank]

that sounds like a coding nightmare /j but no really i could see someone hugging a char and then poof flung into the air LOL. it be like "hugs then yeet see you later"

[stiff nymph]

Yeah. Especially, at least for me, the limited garden plots. if I want something like an apple orchard let me have one lmaoooo.

[young plank]

god sims 4 is also on my crap list LOL

[naive raft]

the things i would do to just kiss hassain bro....

[stoic crane]

Especially with what happens/happened with the muujins

[stiff nymph]

It's ok Sims 5 will come out when we're 155. /jokes

[young plank]

AHAHA thats exactly what i pictured when i wrote that LOL

[stoic crane]

I have been yeeted into the air multiple times. So annoying while hunting

[marsh depot]

No can do, all you get is plastic apple trees. (I was happy with those at least)

[young plank]

god at that rate paralives better deliver or anything live sim is going to just go poof at this rate

[naive raft]

when gta 6 releases i need sims 5 jokes to make up for the loss

[stiff nymph]

I'm sure Sims 4 will release another SpongeBob collab.

[marsh depot]

GTA 6 before story update on Palia /j

[naive raft]

Btw dumb question bc im rly rly rllyyy close to lvl 3 friendship w hassain.... am i able to ask him out as soon as i reach lvl 3 ir do i gotta wait

[stoic crane]

We can’t ask any villagers out, it’s just a quest that you unlock at each lvl and you get some different lines when you talk to them

[naive raft]

oooooohh

[stiff nymph]

I like Nai'o and Jel 😂

Which seems like a bizarre combo but they've both got a little something!

Okay Nai'o just told me he saw something and thought of me and it was fertilizer...dude.

[naive raft]

boy i just wanted to go pfftt, einar my boy. Einar. I swear to, ouuugg anyway

[naive raft]

Anyway that is rly funny but im also very sorry 🙏😭

[cloud obsidian]

It's not player friendly, most of all it is not friendly to newer players. I've been playing for thousands of hours and getting everything to make these furniture pieces, including actually finding the recipes is still a struggle.

[naive raft]

w the rng system in wf. The drop youre looking for becomes garubuteed at a certain point in the amount of times youve farmed for it, eg. Bloodshed sigil un the profit taker bossfight becomes almost garubuteed at 25 - 75 fights,
Idk why they cant implement a system like that to make it easier to get recipes like that
Ik the grind will still be there but itll make it at least more tolerable??

[stoic crane]

Or even easier don’t put them in rummage piles if we need them for bundles

[marsh depot]

Having RNG tied to a limited timed event is always a really bad idea. Unless you have some pity or bad luck protection system.

[dull crow]

we all agree the messed it really hard up i cant use the words i need to describe this or i get banned

[cloud obsidian]

I love Palia, the amount of hours I have spent in it and the amount of money I have spent on it are proof if this. Over two years of open beta and an immeasurable amount of player feedback they still have managed to implement something that feels very unfriendly toward players, especially new ones. I just want Palia to succeed.

[dull crow]

yeah i am playing the game since the open beta and i spent alot of money too and its really a shame how they are dealing with critique from fans and there partners.

[marsh depot]

So do some of us but we only get told it's free/in beta

[naive raft]

Yk if thry continue like this its gonna bite them back one day

The games in open beta now is a better time than ever to put effort into listening to the community

[dull crow]

yeah i think the day is coming sooner then later if they are doing stuff like this

[naive raft]

Ive seen it too many times w triple a games i liked such as cod and diablo, i dont want them to end up like that

They say they listen but they dont, this server is here for a reason too, w the feedback channels and everything so its not hard for them to actually look at it,
Its just a mayter of them actually looking at it

[crystal girder]

i think it would just be infinitely better if the rummage piles automatically prioritized dropping unknown recipes before giving ingredients/materials

that way, if you are missing other recipes from the piles, it may take longer, but eventually you'll get it
if you already have all the recipes, then you'll get all the recipes in about 3-6 days (including the new snowy lawn recipes)

then drop materials after there's no new recipes or quest items to get

and yes i know about the inventory hack and have been doing it but it's annoying and time consuming and boring and not how i want to spend my time

[dull crow]

they are ex blizzard devs so it can happen again

[marsh depot]

Sadly the server is too big for 1 person to keep up with it all, as we discussed prior. But it is true that that is the overall feeling, that feedback isn't heard.

[naive raft]

Which theyre not clearly doing so either im hoping the bite is close to a nibble so they have a chabce to bounce back,

[marsh depot]

Yeah but instead they decided to increase the rate of snowballs instead of keeping the Winterlights store open

[naive raft]

Im sorry they only have one person handiling the feedback for the game???

[marsh depot]

Well, we only have one CM, which is Lacie. She's the only bridge we have between S6 and the players, I don't know if she's the only one that handles the feedback, but she's the only bridge we have aside from the ocassional dev that pops up.

[stoic crane]

There used to be more but they were let go

[marsh depot]

Unsure how the feedback forms from the site are handled or who reads them and it's not my place to speculate that which is also why more transparency would be great and appreciated

[naive raft]

Okay 1. Why would they let the others go thats genuinely a stupid descion on s6s part
2. They need to get people to help lacie out hc theres no way one person can do this by themselves

[fiery perch]

Most likely to save money, unfortunately.

[marsh depot]

There were multiple layoffs prior to the acquistion (likely in order to prepare for it, as it often happens and make the company seem more profitable).

[crystal girder]

honestly increasing the drop rate of snowballs would have also been fine if you weren't battling rng for the recipes on top of the snowballs like, once there's no recipes to get from the piles, then yeah, drop the snowballs

also don't see why we can't get snowballs from other activities like mining/hunting while it's still winter.
you hunted a chapaa and it had snow on its fur from running around! here's 10 snowballs

[cloud obsidian]

I have spent more on Palia then I have paid for AAA games and their expansion packs. Palia started closed beta on August 2, 2023, it has been in open beta since August 10, 2023, it released on steam on March 25, 2024 (and does not show as being beta there) and it released on Xbox & PlayStation May 13, 2025 (and does not show as beta there). I don't accept it being in beta any longer, it is now a live service game.

[marsh depot]

Yeah it just doesn't compute. It only puts more strain on players.

[shut grove]

Business decision, the umbrella corporation theyre under is not profitable. Also basically every company has done layoffs in the last 2 years. Times are hard.

[fiery perch]

Don't forget it released on switch really early, Dec 14, 2023. And doesn't mention beta there either.

[dull crow]

pleasing the fans makes money upsetting fans makes less money. Getting a good structrue in the company priceless

[naive raft]

It should be like a law for games to show quality over the quantity of the money theyvhet for the game

[young plank]

Sadly it is a beta game the main platform (pailas launcher does state it’s an beta in the logo) I think they just took off the beta tag to get away with switch and other consoles.

[naive raft]

I didnt even know it was in beta until i actually got the game and joined the disc server, xbix player gtw

[shut grove]

This will never be the case when investors are involved. They want a return on investment and that means unsustainable constant growth.

[naive raft]

Thats unfortunate, but could they open up like a volunteer thing to help them get feedback to the actual devs?

[naive raft]

Words cannot describe how much i hate investors sometimes

[marsh depot]

Yeah sadly there is no law to enforce this. The only actual laws would be to prevent fraud, lootboxes or misleading advertising.

[fiery perch]

I honestly don't think anything like that should be a volunteer job. I don't like the idea of people doing work for a game (this one or others) in that capacity for free

[shut grove]

People also dont realize that as toxic as "line go up" is, companies often have a fiduciary duty to create returns for their investors. To not do so is considered a breach of duty. Thus, 60 dollar outfits.

[marsh depot]

Agreed. It gets very murky, as we've seen with other studios.

[naive raft]

Ykw thats acrually a very fair point i didnt think of

[cloud obsidian]

Does anyone know if their "Palia Partners" do anything more than just stream and advertise the game, or do they actually provide feedback that is heard and implemented?

[marsh depot]

Sadly it seems they've found their niche with the plush collection and cosmetics. And that's great, not saying it's wrong to enjoy that. The problem is when they're alienating another majority of players by prioritising certain aspects over quality of content, accessibility and communication.

[naive raft]

THIS.
There is so many ways they could just do their best to include everyone except a tiny niche of players that make up at best 10 - 30% of the playerbase atp

Make it make sense man

[young plank]

Its legit just that streaming as a way to push the game out to the mass. The irl shepp program went to dust as well as soon as the company was bought out by day break

[marsh depot]

I remember a while back someone sent an article on games that were malingering the use of the term beta and discussing if this would be the case with Palia.

#💬│palia-discussions message > What I'm refering to if anyone is interested.

[shut grove]

Malingering in beta is a great turn of phrase for this.

[naive raft]

The furstrating thing about all of this is that palia is a great game, its a shame to see this happen

[crystal girder]

about paid premium things, i don't mind that they push them. they do need to make money after all to continue adding to and maintaining the game. but what frustrates me with the lunar paths for example, the premium things will be new cosmetics, plushies, pets, etc. and then the regular/free rewards will be iron and food and items we can craft 🫩 (besides the estate housing line stuff of course) obviously the premium stuff is going to be better but at least make the free rewards a bit more exciting like it feels a bit like a slap in the face to free players who can't spend a ton of money on the game
like again, totally understand the need for the game to make money! but the candied kopaa nuts and bellflower rewards for the new path are just crazy to me like i could make those in 30 seconds why are they being offered as a reward 😭

[marsh depot]

It's a game with a lot of potential for sure, which is why so many of us have been left disappointed or burnt out.

[naive raft]

Depending on new players to make it more acessable and more appealing to new players for the profit ig? Still a dumb descision either wya and i fully agree w you

[naive raft]

Part of me wants to say corprate greed at its finest but i dont know if its copro greed or if its the studio having a rough time and them being depserate or not, i heard someone say they were going through a rough patch so idk which one it is

[marsh depot]

If I was a paying customer I'd feel a slap to the face with the rewards from both of the paths tbh.

Including an already existing pet in both of them, and rewards that really should have been free really water down the value of the Path. I would not purchase at all even if it was only worth 5 dollars.

[marsh depot]

My issue with the cash shop is that it's treated as content. Half the patch notes for a good time were dedicated to the premium content.

They have enough in their shop to stop pumping it for a little bit, but the increased push for monetisation with pretty much no way to get cosmetics through in-game progression is just upsetting.

Like I mentioned the other day, they could've made 1 or 2 of the landscapes available for a high amount of gold coins and the option to purchase with paid currency. Give something to players to have some sense of progression aside from swiping your card.

The customisation in the game feels more like flexing rather than showing how you've progressed your game, if you don't spend money in the game you have very little ways for self expression (aside from decorating I guess, but they also monetised the landscapes and bin/mailbox skins).

(and again, nothing wrong with that. The issue is the lack of balance/options).

[crystal girder]

yeah i never really look at the premium store so idk what's already available or not. i know you can get the galdur pup by completing a quest, so putting that in there as a premium reward also felt a bit cheap 😕 i think as a whole there should be more thought behind these new features that are supposed to incentivize players to play more and get excited about the game

[marsh depot]

Iirc there's other galdur pup colors available only in the shop. There was some backlash when the Galdur was made a free pet as well.

[naive raft]

i aM sO cLOSE.

[shut grove]

They also should have another reward for not premium. It sucks to grind the lunar level and then get nothing at all if you dont pay. The price is too high, I'd pay for it if it was 5 or 10 bucks but not what like 30? No.

[marsh depot]

At least the previous one had the state recipes, this one doesn't give me any incentive to play.

[shut grove]

I dont understand why they dont have level up cosmetic rewards. Reach level 10 and get a Lil outfit. That doesnt devalue your premium offerings, it gives more to players. Being generous to players makes them feel more generous in supporting you. The relationship between devs and players have to be a mutual give and take, not no take only give from the dev side.

[marsh depot]

You explained it perfectly. Thank you.

We did get an explanation that drip feeding free content had killed games before but like you said, it only gives incentives to play.

But hey, other games had been doing this for ages and are not dead. League got a lot of complaints when they decided to remove free chests. Even gacha games give more to their players.

[shut grove]

Like why does Jel have a whole store in Kilima and it just takes you to the premium shop? That is flabbergasting tbh. You cant buy any cosmetics whatsoever? Or earn them really? There is a balance between players supporting a game monetarily voluntarily because they appreciate it and they feel good about that support, and players feeling like a piggy bank that doesn't ever get anything back altrustically by providing that support.

[naive raft]

i have to wait til daily gifts resets. brother.
when do daily gifts reset anyway?

[warm python]

I haven't clicked yet, just opened up this server today but. Unofficial official is making me giggle because well yeah LOL

[warm python]

I would still love to get a solid example of a game that died because they allowed some free earnable cosmetics

[marsh depot]

Schrodinger's Reddit It's official it isn't official

[marsh depot]

Uhhh... Club Penguin I guess? (kidding of course)

[warm python]

LOL

[stiff nymph]

Yep. This exactly.

[marsh depot]

Give us the charts you're looking at to make these decisions please, we love numbers too

[warm python]

Okay time to crawl out of bed from napping and catch up some on the channel

[marsh depot]

If anything heavily monetising games has only proved to drive away players.

Talked about this with someone else yesterday, but OSRS faced a lot of backlash and many long time players quit because they wanted to show ads in the client and have tiered subscriptions for features like account security settings.

[warm python]

Okie dokie caught up (at least with this afternoon's talk) LOL. And yeah there. Definitely needs to be a balance between free and paid content and Palia's is kinda...not it. They're dipping into monetizing one category at a time (nameplates being the latest) but will still hold anything but a png t-shirt close to their chest

[fiery perch]

Late response-- but this is something that me and others have suggested since the beginning and have been wanting. Unfortunately, due to the fact they have added skill-based outfits to premium store... I don't see this ever happening now. Which is something that is very saddening.

It didnt even have to be a full outfit, could of been pieces of an outfit. It'd give incentive to play, incentive to work on different skills, etc. It'd show growth/accomplishment for the character-- and not just something at the home-- something that can be visible while out and about, too.

Not to mention, it'd also provide some RP-incentives and background. I wanted to make a character specifically to learn more about Palia-- culture, clothes, food, etc-- but due to the way Palia is structured and not providing many or anything free (Clothing), I felt like I couldn't actually pursue this. I never felt like I got an "award" for doing anything, so I felt no real reason to "take pictures" to make it like my character's scrapbook.

And yeah, definitely needs to be a balance. My favourite analogy for this is "Tug of War". 1 side being free, the other being paid... and you want them both to be equal so neither side ends up in the mud, but it has felt like the "paid" side is making the "free" side fall into the mud easily.

edit: realized i used wrong word. "metaphor" changed to "analogy"

[marsh depot]

I see it as being in a relationship, sort of. Both parts have to give and take to make it fair. Obviously it doesn't apply the same way, but there's still a parasocial element in a way.

[bleak jay]

Is it just me, or is this achievement bugged? https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Aggressively_Generous I was at 23 gifts and I gave a ton around the village, and the achievement didn't move.

[lyric night]

did u gave them their weekly wants or regular gifts? only the latter counts for the achievement

[bleak jay]

Weekly wants.

Here's what I accomplished. Should I have given them the ones with a heart beside them?

[young plank]

side note the camera in palia so bad i personally use a program outside of palia to snag my screenshots. i dont think i have ever used the scrapbook for its intended function because its such a bad user experience for at least for me.

[fiery perch]

Oh, yes, lol. I always forget about that function in Palia because I don't think it's all that good, at all. I was planning on taking my own pictures/screenshots, and laying them out myself & having it laid out like a scrapbook via my art program

[young prawn]

Has anyone noticed that while hunting ogopuu some of them jump from far away to close to the water holes they disappear into??

[bleak jay]

I gave Jel a Silk thread and I'm still stuck at 23 gifts.

[young plank]

yup thats usually them teleporting and thats the waveback that usually does that

[old dirge]

pretty much everything does this unfortunately, I see it most with bugs just glitching like 2m to the side all of a sudden

[young prawn]

Oh, ok. For me it seems to happen with them all. I guess its more apparent cause since i can never get into a party im forced to hunt alone. Ty Panda

[marsh depot]

Prob try to find help in #🤝│game-help or write a support ticket, I haven't experienced this so I'm not sure

[bleak jay]

Thanks!

[young plank]

ive learned a trick with them its best to try to get up as close as possible and then fire tons of arrows like a machine at them make sure they are out in the open cause once they dart around the rocks its hard to catch up

[young prawn]

Yes, i try to do that 🙂

[old dirge]

someday the huntables and bugs won't be glitched like that, someday (this has been an on and off bug since august 2023)

[young prawn]

Also, I’ve noticed people don’t like to party up as much as before?

[marsh depot]

Could you elaborate? /gen

[azure delta]

Kinda hard to party up when the party menu is broken every other patch /s

[young prawn]

Remember when the garden furniture came out? It seemed everyone was calling out for parties. Now, it’s hard to even get an answer on the server when I ask for help hunting. It is much easier hunting in parties

[young prawn]

Oh, might be that

[marsh depot]

I'd say it's likely because people are in their own communities trying to hunt for a specific purpose, usually plushies.

Also could be that with the new influx of console players, communication is much harder on consoles, so they might just not reply or have chat off. Chat breaks a lot too tbh.

And ofc there's players that just enjoy playing solo, I personally usually only party up with one friend.

[young prawn]

I do see parties going by, but also solo players. I understand wanting to play solo as I sometimes prefer it. But I’m just seeing less peeps asking for grouping up too

[fiery perch]

Right now, with the introduction of the Fairy mantis plush, a lot of folks are probably focused on trying to do lots of Lures and trying to get the plush.

[young prawn]

You are right.

[fiery perch]

You can always also try to find folks over in #1445866314949202012 . I know some ppl use discord chat more than in-game (myself included).

[young prawn]

Thank you all for your helpful answers!

[nimble tangle]

Path of Exile (the first one) made its devs millionaires yet was entirely free to play, with affordable, beautifully crafted cosmetics being the only source of incom. No micros, no ads.

[half lance]

Might be a me curse, but nobody is helping with flared treet anymore. I write in the chat, no answers whats so ever. I wait forever and people r just runnin past...
Wish devs could let me chop them solo

[spice egret]

As a self-proclaimed Worldhopper myself, I am definitely enjoying all the Cosmere names ❤️

[digital rose]

Silk thread is one of his weekly wants, so it doesn't count toward the achievement. ||Leather, fabric, and silk should count.||

[bleak jay]

I solved this in #🤝│game-help. Thanks for the advice though!

[young plank]

its best to ignore those solo trees and wait for the grove youll get more wood that way too. You can cut up to med by your self though

[signal igloo]

I cant remember where to find the midnight paddlefish, where is? 🥹

[quasi solstice]

Kilima Lake, 9pm-3am with glow worms 🙂

[signal igloo]

tysmsmsmsmsmmsmm

[young plank]

this is the website that i use when im fishing ❤️ https://www.paliatracker.com/fish-tracker its got other trackers in there for bugs etc

[signal igloo]

nice lol boyfriend just sent this to me too. tysm!

[fallow lodge]

i am about to quit playing this game. i jsut ran across teh map and when i was with in 2 sdconds of getting to the person i wanted to talk to, they teleported away. chasing down npc who are walking away from you, into another map. This is NOT Fun

[stiff nymph]

Oof that sucks.

[marsh depot]

Been there

[buoyant crypt]

I'm having the same issue. I saw you mentioned hunting parties - if ever you wanna party up to hunt, ping me or DM me and I am so down! I hunt daily and have been struggling to get anyone to hunt with me.

[willow jetty]

What is the register in front of Zekis?

[dark moon]

That looks like the winter register that should be gone

[nimble tangle]

that's where you could have bought snowballs a week ago had you known then that you'd need to now but no longer be able to.

[cloud obsidian]

Best answer.

On my 10th relolg and it keeps putting me on the same darn server, how am I supposed to trick Palia in to giving me a recipe if it won't cooperate?

18 tries and I got the landscape... shrug

[marsh depot]

Having active friends makes it even harder I'd say

[marsh depot]

I was thinking of trying it but honestly it's just making me not want to log in again

[cloud obsidian]

we both know you aren't going to give up. 8)

[marsh depot]

We both know I'd rather play ranked matches in League /j

Maybe next week though. It's just that Palia also loves to turn my laptop into a Boeing jet.

[cloud obsidian]

Palia beta™ optimized for fun... and lotsa heat! ✈️

[stoic crane]

Palia at least gave me the motivation to finally finish the museum in animal crossing

[obsidian verge]

is it me or are the points not showing up for anyone when completing the board. I had used my coins to complete the first luna path but I've not seen any lunar xp showing up on the path of the cardigan and I completed everything but 1 from the board

[stoic crane]

You need to activate that path specifically or it will count towards the other path. I didn’t see that at first either

[obsidian verge]

how do you activate it? it fills even though it's finished? that's odd

dang all that work for nothing 🙁

[heavy cedar]

!path this should explain

[opal cypress]

Lunar Paths

Lunar Paths offer a relaxed way to earn both Free and Premium rewards just by playing the game!

• Paths do not expire. Progress carries forward at your own pace by completing Dailies, Bundles, or earning Skill XP. Both Free and Premium rewards are woven throughout each Path.
• You can swap between Paths and earn XP on any Path at any time. Just be sure to activate the Path that you want to progress.
• You can track your Lunar XP progress using the bar directly below your Focus Bar.

Optional Upgrades (Costs Palia Coins)

• The Premium Lunar Path unlocks access to all Premium rewards on the Path (marked with the diamond symbol). You'll be able to claim them as soon as you reach the required levels on the Lunar Path.
• The Unlock All Path Levels option instantly boosts your Lunar Path to the max level. This lets you skip the Lunar XP grind and claim any rewards you're eligible for: Free rewards by default, or both Free and Premium if you've purchased the Premium Lunar Path.

[obsidian verge]

thank you, sad that I lost all those other points. wish they would go right to the path of the cardigan since the other was full

[vivid oar]

I did the exact same thing, even knowing I needed to switch it lol i feel ur pain. I spam clicked at it an just assumed that had worked 😂 paaaain

[silver bane]

I have a real gripe with getting these new recipes if you going to have a timed mission for the bulletin board and requiring us to get a recipe from a rummage pile that randomly gives you garbage most of time how do they expect you to finish something. Would have preferred just purchasing.

[stoic crane]

Most of us would have preferred that

[tender mantle]

I'm beginning to wonder if it will be this time that I won't be able to finish the bundles. Having to rely on luck to get the recipes is not great! I know we still have a bit of time, but still I'm getting antsy that I haven't found any, and it's only once a day. I've heard about server jumping, but still nothing. It's a bit disheartening.

[celest maple]

Does anyone know why when i try to log in it says that (you do not have access at this time)?

[marsh depot]

If it's any consolation, you don't need to finish the bundles to get the floorings, as the track meter for those also gets filled by doing weekly challenges and stuff. You'll just miss out on some Lunar Path XP and Killima coins.

But I also agree with you that it still sucks, because even though it's optional it still locks a lot of people out and if someone doesn't log in in time to do all the activities, they might just not be able to finish it.

[sudden heath]

Yeah, one week of rummage piles and I still can't do that bundle, wheeeee so much funnnnnnn /s

And yes, I know that you don't HAVE to do the bundle for the treasure track, it doesn't matter, you should be able to without tricks or glitches.

[marsh depot]

They just shouldn't have bundles locked behind excessive RNG or main story quest. You're only going to either force players to grind or to not bother logging on.

[stiff nymph]

That's me. Not logging in especially after my Zeki loyalty Club lapsed.

[fiery sphinx]

It wouldn't bother me so much if it were late game content meant to keep seasoned players who are out of content busy, but now that it's tied to the battle pass and one of the main things you get from each bundle is friendship with whatever NPC, the bundles (like most things they add) are aimed at new players. The double RNG on the furniture is garbage. I'm just waiting for them to send everyone the furniture like they did whatever was in that one bundle that one time that everyone whined was too hard.

[sudden laurel]

My first tree’d muujin loot lol

[marsh depot]

I wouldnt mind it if the rewards reflected the effort tbh as it stands the rewards are not it. But yeah same, atp I can only hope they just send the furniture to everyone.

[marsh depot]

Yeah at least last path's battlepass did give me a reason to log in.

[stoic crane]

Yeah especially the random fish and bugs🤣😅

But also I think the bundle board should be doable for all players new or experienced. And that’s not the case rn

[marsh depot]

I think they're for crafting the tints? But yeah it's not like I could go and hunt those myself, thanks

[stoic crane]

I just sold them, I thought what is this for trash

[marsh depot]

It just should be balanced. Or at the very least, have two bundle options: one for more veteran players or those who want a challenge, and one that's more accessible.

As it stands it's not giving veteran players a reason to log in, excluding those who can't complete main story, and also not being friendly towards new players.

[stoic crane]

I’m fine with a bit of a grind. But to do it in a rng loot pile just isn’t fair for anyone

I hope enough people complain

[fiery sphinx]

This would be nice. I had hoped the board would give me a reason to log in, but it seems to range from things I can complete in 5 minutes to things that are so tedious that I don't bother because the rewards are absolute trash. My friendships have been maxed for years, there's nothing I can buy with Kilima coin that I care about, and the lunar path is also trash in my opinion so I don't care about the xp.

[stoic crane]

I’m only doing it for the floors etc.

[fiery sphinx]

I finished it for those, just in case I ever care to use them, but it wasn't really enough incentive.

[stoic crane]

True

[marsh depot]

Yeah, I don't care for the Paths either. I was excited they were going to finally give us a way to earn cosmetics but we only got a PNG shirt. But at least the previous one had a more cohesive theming and the estate building recipes

And I just could not justify paying the price for this Path. No matter how much they say it's discounted or whatever. It's so watered down.

[fiery sphinx]

They should be embarrassed about those shirts and even more embarrassed that they charge people real money for the equally horrific hoodies int he premium shop.

I can't get excited about home lines until they figure out a solution for the windows. They make me claustrophobic.

[marsh depot]

But don't you love the "graphic design is my passion" fashion? /s

I could make those in Sims 4 Studio in 5 minutes, 10 if I want to make sure everything is centered

I kinda like the home lines, modular should have been the way to go from the beginning but with everything else that is going on, I just don't have anything really pulling me in to decorate. Shame, because I liked the new tint system and wanted to finally finish my houses.

[fiery sphinx]

The ceilings definitely need to be higher, and if they can't make the windows transparent, they could at least try to make them emit a little light like the windows in Nikki do. 🤷‍♀️ I was so excited when the alchemist line came out, and then it was just... such a let down.

[fiery sphinx]

Centered?! Who would want that!

[lyric night]

the ceiling is actually only a few pixels lower than the harvest rooms but definitely feels like its a lot lower bcs of no light from windows

[marsh depot]

I will say I have had no desire to build in Nikki though cause of how timegated it was But true. I guess I'll just keep making houses in Sims 4.

[marsh depot]

They need to consult the Feng Shui guy from Youtube next time (iykyk)

[fiery sphinx]

I actually feel like the ceilings in the harvest rooms are too low, also. We have all these giant light fixtures and your head literally touches them if you put them anywhere but in the main house.

[fiery sphinx]

I was excited for building in Nikki, but I barely touched it either.

[lyric night]

really wish they would work on a way to allow wallpaper on decor so they can introduce individual wall pieces

[marsh depot]

Wish we could have wainscoting and be able to place wallpapers and floorings on the builder pieces

[pallid ferry]

Did S6 backpedal on needing to complete all four bundles to finish the bundle quest?

I ask bc I was able to finish the quest without submitting the RNG recipes

[little robin]

A 'new board' method was introduced last patch to be able to complete the bulletin board for the final rewards without the bundles, info/direct quote below to describe the new system: https://palia.com/news/patch-198

We’re introducing a whole new Bulletin Board experience and even more ways to enjoy the rewards of your efforts with a new currency called Kilima Coin.

The Bulletin Board has been upgraded into a one-stop hub for your Daily quests, Weekly Wants, Weekly Skill Challenges, and the per-patch Bundle Boards. All of these activities now contribute XP toward your Bulletin Board progress.

Bundles now reward Bulletin Board XP, Kilima Coins, Lunar XP, and relevant Villager Reputation depending on the Monthly Bundle Quest. Dailies also reward Bulletin Board XP, Tailor Tickets, and Lunar XP, and Weekly Challenges give you Bulletin Board XP and Skill Medals.

As you complete all of these activities and earn XP, you will progress along the Bulletin Board track to claim rewards. Completing the entire Bulletin Board track will earn you Kilima Coins, a new currency. Players can earn up to 150 Kilima Coins each patch.

[old dirge]

Yeah there was a "bug" fix in the 0.199 patch notes that made it sound like you couldn't get the last chest and outro without finishing the bundles anymore, but it seems that wasn't true??? I get your confusion

Fixed a progression issue where the Bulletin Board Outro quest could be triggered incorrectly before all necessary requirements were met.

[pallid ferry]

Now my favorite bug. Bc feelings about the RNG recipes

[marsh depot]

Whoever thought adding RNG recipes to the time board in clearly in their villain era (I'm really joking here, please take it lightheartedly)

[old dirge]

If it was something we could get each palian day (irl hour) instead of irl day itd be less evil. Having only like 28 chances to get them IF you had gotten to elderwood to buy the starter set and gotten the bahari pile recipe before this patch, is a wild decision. No board completion for new or casual players unless they're really lucky.

[stoic crane]

I detect no lies here. It is evil

[marsh depot]

I'm trying to please our all-seeing Einar

[pallid ferry]

Einar would never do that to us

[stiff nymph]

Einar is gonna make us get level 1000 in fishing.

[pallid ferry]

Well now I'm scared for the Einar board. Who all have we gotten boards from? Kenli, Chayne, Elouisa....

[fluid finch]

Reth did the previous one, on behalf of cheering up Ashura.

[pallid ferry]

The Tamala board will be a bunch of processed leather and smoke bombs.

[marsh depot]

Einar's board is going to be like:

Collect 10 makeshift furniture.

Hand in the smooth pebble.

5 green pearls.

And reward us with some fishermen's brew.

[pallid ferry]

Ok, but how many gillyfins?

[marsh depot]

500 for good measure

[fluid finch]

Each day he'll forget how many, so 5 a day, for a month...

[marsh depot]

Reunite Gil's family questline

[stiff nymph]

Omg...some lettuce furniture.

[pallid ferry]

I just want ANYTHING from the longstanding Bingo Card. VFX toggle. Adjustable UI slider (or just three options). Purchase multiples from Zeki. More soil plots. Just give us ONE.

[flint igloo]

Soggy lettuce furniture

[pallid ferry]

At this point, I'll take moist lettuce bars recipe if we get seeds

[marsh depot]

Please don't Moose. Don't awaken the demons. I beg you.

Next Path better be Path of the Lettuce

[pallid ferry]

we're going on TWO YEARS

[marsh depot]

Lettuce or else

[stiff nymph]

Lettuce unite!!!! 🥬

[stoic crane]

Don’t give them ideas. I despise fishing

[stiff nymph]

I hate fishing too.

(Even though for me Palias mechanic isn't that bad, I hate it in every farming game even animal crossing ).

[nimble tangle]

I bet, for teh same price, you could get exactly that shirt for real on Etsy or something, too

[marsh depot]

Fishing is the least accessible skill in the game but sadly I've run out of hope on them not adding it to bundles or having any ways to make it more accessible in the future

[marsh depot]

I could definitely go to my local printer and get it made there tbh, for a fraction of that price.

[stoic crane]

It’s also that some fish are so difficult to catch. I still have trauma from trying to catch that ancient fish. I never want to see it again

[pallid ferry]

I can't decide if my favorite fishing mechanic is Coral Island or Infinity Nikki

[shut grove]

I actually like the fishing but it seems buggy. I can have the fish clearly in the reticle and it will give the red ping. Is it a lag issue or a visual discrepancy? When it works right i really enjoy it.

[marsh depot]

I still remember when I lost my starred ancient fish at the Fairgrounds. Never again.

[marsh depot]

Terrarias for me. Cast and reel. 2 clicks.

[stoic crane]

I prefer ddv. I can just press and hold a button

[pallid ferry]

I want a LITTLE challenge in my fishing. But Palia's is eh. At least Stardew I can mod out the difficulty

[marsh depot]

This. And the progression in the fishing actually feels rewarding with the new Masteries.

[stoic crane]

I prefer as easy as possible seeing as I’m already recasting many times to even get the fish

[marsh depot]

They should really have a toggable option for the fishing minigame tbh. Or idk, some way to make it more accessible.

Or give us passive fishing like Roan's ideas here #💬│palia-discussions message

[cloud spear]

Just give us a dynamite recipe. Problem solved.

[valid oyster]

Give the people blast fishing!
(Or like nets/fish traps if we care about the environmental impact on the digital fishies)

[cloud spear]

Traps could be interesting. Placing a magic item in the water that attracts fish and traps them in a bubble. The bubble slowly floats over to the fisherperson and they have to jump around and pop them to collect. Could be way more fun than the current system.

Have the devs ever mentioned upgraded tools, or the evolution of current tools?

[lyric night]

nope but doubt that will ever happen, at least not any time soon, would be hard to balance in earlier zones

[pallid ferry]

Yeah, copper is already one-hit. There does need to be some adjustments to the upgrades though. I'm still sad that they turned the platinum chest full purple, instead of just the fittings.... which if platinum, why not white?

[marsh depot]

Next million dollar idea: chests skins. Only for 850 Palia coins each.

Torben I'm joking. But I fully expect it at this point

[obtuse frost]

Yeah they should have to make adjustments especially for platinum. We don't have much use for the bars and ores unless for certain quests atm. Would be nice to have platinum chests that can store 20k or more. Palium chests (x8) only gets 14k and I'm almost at my limit every day trying not to hoard everything even with 300 for lockbox storage (honestly that needs to be upgraded too).

[marsh depot]

They tell us not to hoard but fully expected us to hoard those snowballs

[obtuse frost]

Yap 🙃

I mean I did hoard them...not because I knew of the next update, but because I didn't know what to do with all of the snowballs. We got so many during the event that even with the snowman plushie recipe the stacks kept getting bigger...I even had to load all of my ammo with common bug bombs to stop the snowballs from being used in my ammo storage on accident while catching bugs :'3

[marsh depot]

Been there Wish there was a toggle to autolock bug bombs for when the stacks run out

[pallid ferry]

Nothing is more frustrating then trying to quick-equip some bug bombs and having SNOWBALLS show up instead. RIP rainbow. RIP.

[marsh depot]

I felt so bad the time it happened to me during the snowball flashbang fiasco. Same for when you accidentally shoot a flare at disco deers

[crystal girder]

an upgraded storage chest is defffff needed. i don't even think i'm that much of a hoarder, but once you're so far in the game, you really battle with the storage limits 😭

[obtuse frost]

lol same. I try not to hoard but I do keep like x amount of things just incase...it really does add up :'3

[cloud obsidian]

No worries friend! ❤️ I did have a troubling thought about the snowy furniture recipes. If these remain in the piles and are available as long as you meet the requirements for the base items, what happens to a new player who starts the game after this patch cycle. Say they get the snowy recipes in May... Where are they going to get the snowballs to craft these things? Will they have to wait until the next Winterlight Patch months later to get snowballs? (FOMO) Or even worse, if the recipes are only available for this patch cycle, you have only the one Kilima pile putting out snowballs and the recipes. Knowing the bundle uses a TON of resources including 400 snowballs, that month isn't looking like enough time. (More FOMO). I'm seeing and hearing a lot of players wanting to "disengage with" Palia because of this and similar rng based "situations". As someone who wants Palia to succeed, any player lost is potential revenue lost. Enough lost revenue and well... I don't want to think about a world without Palia. I hope they do something to remedy this, and soon.

[sudden heath]

Seconded, I haaaaate having to stop in the middle of decorating because I need to go get more resources and turn them into planks/bars/yadda yadda

[marsh depot]

Yep, this is something we've been dicussing too, as well as the possibility of these recipes being limited to the duration of this patch/winter season.

[cloud obsidian]

The offices must be closed for MLK day, not a peep about this in any official channels today as far as I've seen.

[marsh depot]

I'm not American so I wasn't aware of that (for some reason I thought it was in February?) but still. The silence has been too loud.

[fiery perch]

Not tons of places are closed for that, honestly.

But yeah, when it comes to things not being said or being quiet, it isnt super uncommon, really.

[pallid ferry]

yeah when I want to build/decorate, I want to sit on my plot for a while and get it done, not craft 4 items and then have to run out again.

[marsh depot]

Sadly, but considering the overall issue and unhappiness regarding the Path, the bundle, and most importantly, the fireworks, it's looking really bad. It just feels like we've been here before and nothing's changed.

I don't care for the sales or the mining event, those are not priorities.

[cloud obsidian]

the armor is kind of cool, it flies without a glider... 🤭

[marsh depot]

Sadly I'm not willing to drop $30 dollars (or however much it is, I can't remember) for it already spent that in Nikki

But it is a cool step towards more masc/neutral cosmetics at least. I do like it quite a bit.

[cloud obsidian]

I had coins... which I reluctantly used, but am generally happy with my purchase.

[marsh depot]

And don't forget the totally not misleading Umbraan decor.

[marsh depot]

That's great! If you enjoy it, that's all that matters It is a pretty neat one. I remember in the past I really wanted that witch outfit. Now I can live without seeing it

[azure delta]

A lot of the updates this year have felt rushed and those who point it out are told they're acting entitled/being overly critical to a free game... When most of us just want consistency (ranching trophies, items matching their preview images, items being tint-able (Rancher's items, Camping items), update sneak peaks being game accurate). Hell, even clear windows on the new housing lines like we have for the Kilima line. I don't need to be able to place the window anywhere, just give me 3-4 spot inserts on outside walls. But the devs make it seem like we're asking for more than that or wouldn't be happy with it. There's no reason the new housing line should have less creativity and inserts than the previous housing, like clear windows, doors, different rooms sizes, and hallways. I just want the same level of detail and care that made me pick up the game

[hearty drift]

To be fair I think every opinion is valid, and we all have the right and ability to respectfully air them here which is good. What works for some people, won't work for others, and there is nothing perfect on this Earth that everyone will agree on. 🙂

[stiff nymph]

There's a lot I could say but Einar is watching and will make me get level 1000 in fishing.

[marsh depot]

Agreed fully. There always seems to be a lack of forethought or cohesiveness in the systems.

[shut grove]

Also it's a free game with $$$$$ cosmetics. People have spent money on the game and since they're funding it, they deserve to be heard. "It's free" doesnt hold up as an argument when they have an expensive cash shop. Yes the game is free...but people still spend money on it. The game is not a gift and it is not free from criticism. Just like People saying "it's beta"...and yet, I dont know many beta games that sell 30 dollar outfits.

[marsh depot]

Fwiw, I did look forward to the new tint system, ranching and new homelines. I enjoy the game, but it's hard for me to enjoy it and be motivated to log in when this has been happening for so long and we feel like we aren't being properly rewarded for our time, effort or money, and only be told to be content because it's a free game

[marsh depot]

It's a business strategy, not charity, we've been saying this for so long

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, it's hard when it's been a pattern especially of not addressing issues or a patch like this, accessibility issues and also...trying to talk about it but we get brushed off and...Einar! No! I'm being cozy I swear! don't make me go fishing, nooooo!

[marsh depot]

Not cozy enough, to fish jail you go /j

But seriously though, the lack of a proper address to the undeground fireworks really took me back to the times of the snowball flashbangs.

[stiff nymph]

Bring back the cylinder bug! Heehee.

[azure delta]

You mean every time you load into Bahari, you don't see this

[stiff nymph]

Lol what are thoooose! I haven't seen that recently lol.

[azure delta]

They even got to show up in the Snowman previews 😂

[marsh depot]

Homestuck reference???

[marsh depot]

Wow. I totally missed that, clearly the eye surgery worked /j

[azure delta]

Cyl's family is breaking free to save him from our plots /s But most likely just broken asset strings or assets loading in

[lyric night]

they are blockouts for spawns, cylinders are for hunting for example
but yeah they are not supposed to show up

[azure delta]

Yeah, I get them every so often or just an empty map just part of the Palia experience now

[red temple]

i have a glitched quest, i dont have the dirt mount for step 3 of "all quiet on the umbran front", what should i do?

[chrome minnow]

Whyyy is the only way to complete the bundle for the furniture only by getting the recipes thru the rummage bags but like the rummage bags are expensive? I’m not sure if I’m missing a way but like this is why I normally don’t do the bundles

[warm adder]

Well you can get the rummage piles once daily in kilima too but yeah it's no fun

[pallid ferry]

Adding snowballs to the pile also messed with the "Full Inventory" method, so even going that route is painful

[cosmic jackal]

!support take a screenshot of the active quest step, the expected location, and the missing dirt mound, contact support with the link below
(attached screenshots from the Wiki showing expected mound and location, in case you want to double check)

[opal cypress]

Here's a link to the Player Support: http://support.palia.com/

[marsh depot]

Yep, which again. Why not keep the Winterlights store open. Specially when it's bugged there anyways and just taunting us.

[chrome minnow]

Yes like I sometimes skip on going to the seasonal store because I’m tight on coins and then boom now it’s a problem with completing bundles

[marsh depot]

Yep, exactly. They should announce this in advance so players can properly plan in advance.

[chrome minnow]

I just wish if they went this way they either avoid using those for the bundles, up the Kilima coin amounts given or even expand how you can get them, or lower the price of the rummage bundles

Because why am I having to choose between bundles and getting wayyy better buffs for the same price

[chrome minnow]

But even with advanced notice it would screw new players over which is still not great

[azure delta]

Can't wait for the new players in July wondering why they got snowy furniture they can't make for the next 6 months

[marsh depot]

Oh yeah, definitely. But they had information we didn't, and decided to just, not be transparent Like, they know their own updates right? If they were planning on removing them or just having recipes that would require said materials, at least tell players. Or just keep that store open.

[marsh depot]

The Rummage Pile goodies bag makes no sense to me. It's such a waste of coins you need to complete the bundles to obtain.

[chrome minnow]

I got a single sweet leaf last time. Like I could have gotten a rare fishing buff that would have been useful for the temple bundles for the same price

[marsh depot]

The only thing worth in that store, for me at least, is the makeshift chests. Making the goodie bags have the same drop table is just beyond me.

[chrome minnow]

I understand doing things to make stuff still a good difficulty for long term players but it’s like you can’t forget that you’re gonna have a mix of players and you need to account for not making it impossible for non long time players as well. I mean I’ve been playing for a few months which puts me in a better position but I feel so much worse for new players. I’m already a little miffed that the muujin bahari recipe got put being even more layers because being a primarily single player I have to grind so much more to get it

[marsh depot]

I think most long time players such as myself can agree that this board isn't really motivating us to play either cause either many of us don't have those recipes (or can't access them) and even if we do, we still don't feel like the rewards are worth it

[nimble tangle]

And on behalf of the long time gone and recently returned players, we've alreayd got enough to catch up on, and the huge amount of essence grind required for just one of the recipes and the inability to get snowballs puts this both our of practical reach and out of my give a carp (FISH JOKE) zone.

[pallid ferry]

It's like putting ingredients in the prize wheel, which is already a time to get coins for unless you Spampot. Needs a revisit.

B/c spampot causes it's own... misunderstandings. And Hotpot has such a limited playtime.

[azure delta]

I'm ready for people to yell at each other for spamming during the lunar market... /s

[pallid ferry]

Would fixing the prize wheel stop Spampot? Not likely, since its established in some communities. But it would no longer feel NECESSARY in order to get those rare items, when the RNG is a little higher and two hours of playtime isn't rewarded with MILK. Players would feel better rewarded for time spent. ESPECIALLY as we're getting ways of producing those cooking ingredients ourselves.

[heavy grotto]

Does anyone know if you can collect the greenhouse and place it on another lot? I've been trying for ages and the building is empty.

[marsh depot]

Gen question, but if iirc didn't spamming not work in LNY hotpot?

[azure delta]

So only the person who wins gets a coin but as a table, everyone's hand counts towards the final ticket payout. So the better hands, the better payout.

But some still spammed and there were a ton of in chat fights

[marsh depot]

Yes, this is how I remember it working, thank you! It was funny last year when people were like "omg they fixed spampot!"

[azure delta]

I probably will go during the second week and avoid the first week shenanigans

[marsh depot]

Truly a cozy experience /s

[heavy grotto]

Does anyone know if you can collect the greenhouse and place it on another lot? I've been trying for ages and the building is empty.

[azure delta]

You mean the conservatory? You should be able to collect it and place it on any plot. If it's not currently working, I would leave your plot and reload it to see if it fixes the issue.

[heavy grotto]

That doesn't work either. It keeps asking if I should move items to the inventory/storage. I click yes even though it's empty, and the conservatory stays put. I'm giving up. That's why I asked if anyone else has the same problem.

[nimble tangle]

log out and in again. (that old chestnut, but it tends to work for me when something bugs out)

[pallid ferry]

I really enjoy regular hotpot, but I feel like I take my turns quickly. I will throw away fast if I don't get the squiggly noodles I was hoping for.

[heavy grotto]

OMG: Okay, thanks. I was thinking I should log out and back in, but then I didn't try it. That's crazy, but thank you, that helped.

[shut grove]

I encounter a lot more being rude about not spamming. Newbies dont know what "spam'" is and they might not have seen the chat particularly on console.

[azure delta]

Huh, rarely ran into anyone at the Lunar market upset about people not spamming last year. Slow players, sometimes. But that's because people wanted to cycle through the tables as quickly as possible to maximize tickets.

[shut grove]

Ahhh I meant spam pot in the underground generally, so I wonder if the two sides will clash harder. Hopefully not.

[marsh depot]

Any news? Any new announcements addressing anything? Or did the sales finally get renewed?

[nova solar]

i mean, this popped up in my tab

[marsh depot]

I was being slightly sarcastic with the last question, but good to know I guess.

[fossil juniper]

I'm not entirely sure I understand the point of spamming the hotpot. It seems like with a longer game, you're upping your chances at getting a better trio of matching sets, which means more gold

[nova solar]

spampot’s purpose is to end the game as quick as possible so you can farm wheel spin coins

[obtuse frost]

I'm not a newbie, but when hot pot was first introduced I didn't understand what spamming was. Had someone that kept telling us to go faster, and even with pressing the key it wasn't fast enough for them...so I just stopped playing hot pot altogether.

[marsh depot]

Yeah the purpose is bypassing RNG not farming gold

[old dirge]

so what are we thinking re: tint vote - some starstones are represented already, but there are some where we have other shades in the color family that don't match the stone

[cosmic jackal]

i'd love to see a warm yellow / sunflowery tint, which would align with citrine

[marsh depot]

@fiery perch would really appreciate this (ily orii)

[fiery perch]

Sunflowers!!! yellow!!!!

[obtuse frost]

I would love to see more vivid colors like warm pinks, teal (aquamarine), and some real reds like ruby/garnet. Just more colors in general than the muted browns/blacks/whites and spring/winter/autumn. One that can relate to summer with sunflowers and yellows would be neat (citrine).

also more purple. I feel like violet isn't purple enough

[fiery perch]

Also, RE: Hotpot talk.

I get that some people like adn want to do spampot so they can get the coins and stuff faster, but I really wish people weren't always hostile or telling ppl to go "faster"-- esp because

1. Some ppl have chat off
2. Hotpot can 'break' and have the user not able to do anything>
3. Switch issues
4. Crashes

And I'm sure other things. Either way, on both sides, nobody should be hostile. It hurts my heart everytime I see people acting like that towards someone, or it getting talked about in discord. Even moreso when I see ppl mention they experienced it, and just don't want to play anymore because of it.

I still very much wish we could have our own Hotpot table on our plot. If you want to have it rooted with coins still-- try to have it to where it only gives that during usual hotpot hours. (Although, i wouldn't mind if you didnt get any reward at all.)

But this way, for the folks who do enjoy hotpot itself and just like playing, can set up community game nights, etc. Which is something that I think would be a lot more fun. And.. easier and better to do those things compared to.. them giving us a "rug" of a game board lol (esp since that requires other ppl to have editor permissions to use...)

[obtuse frost]

For me personally I don't mind having it on my plot that way me and some friends can play without feeling like we are a burden playing hot pot.

It's supposed to be a fun, chill game.

[fiery perch]

Yep! Exactly. I just like the idea of hosting 'game nights' that is just for fun. I know some ppl think cooking parties are, but usually the main purpose for those is the money that they can make.

But having chill times of just vibing, doing something community based like that... way more enticing and suited for a game like this imoimo

I get that they probably tried to do that with the game board rug, but again, the fact that the "pieces" would have to be plush pods or plushies, and folks would need editor permissions to move them...

I dont think that's really a good solution or alternative. Just because things could accidentally get moved around, (or even on purpose, cuz.. well, ppl are ppl sometimes).

But having hotpot or something else to do that for us, and we just need to make a room for them etc, would be great. The arcade machines are also nice-- but not everybody likes those and find it a little stressful

[marsh depot]

Sadly instead of going that route, they decided to paywall that dice emote

[nimble tangle]

Id love some kind of community hub that everyone in the community has to contribute towards building, clwaring, whatever, but then has things like a hotpot table, a message board, whatever dumb games, a big cooking zone, maybe even a way to help people in your community with recipe sharing ot whatever. Communal ranching, somewhere to place lures.

[fluid finch]

In other MMOs that would be a guild with a guild hall.

[pallid ferry]

I'd just love to see some love go back into the communities function. It seems they've not done much with that function, and transferred most of the ideas from communities into the current Party system

[marsh depot]

Can't even call it dead content because it didnt' even really have any to begin with Completely forgotten aspect of the game

[nimble tangle]

well yeah, guild-hall-esque, I guess, but this is about hanging out with your peeps and, well, getting cosy. Those moments when you wanna still bein the game but dont wanna do anything and standing stock still in Kilima makes oyu feel like an idiot but in your plot feels lonely.

[pallid ferry]

That's usually when I find a place to sit. There were several times after the sit emoji was added in that you'd just find sitting parties around town, all around an AFKer

[nimble tangle]

oooh

I love it when everyone at a grove just suddenly sits and chills until 3am. Something reassuring and natural about it. We're all okay. We're chilling.

[pallid ferry]

person comes back in, everyone stands up and claps. it was hilarious.

I don't think I've done a grove in a WHILE. I still have a flow tree plot waiting to be cut, once my backlog of logs gets used.

[marsh depot]

Sitting parties are the most wholesome part of the game, 10/10

[pallid ferry]

Followed by the patient queue for the wheel and people clapping when it spins big.

[nimble tangle]

There was someone the other night just dropping lures while people span the wheel after a full hotpot lobby. They didnt' throw a single bomb. Just stoo there clapping and laughing. Was amazing. Was my first night back after a while away and, honestly, a big reason I stayed
